Decatur, IL (November 2, 2024) – The Decatur Police Department is investigating following a crash that happened on Saturday, November 2, around 2:50 p.m. Sgt. Brandon Rolfs confirmed that the accident involved a white 2016 Chevy Equinox and a grey 2009 Mazda 6 on Interstate 72 at Route 121 in Decatur.
Rolfe said the driver of the Chevy Equinox, a 75-year-old man, was traveling southeast on Route 121 and entered the left turn lane to turn onto the I-72 on-ramp. Police say the driver turned in front of oncoming traffic and hit the Mazda 6, driven by an 18-year-old man.
Rolfs said there were no severe or life-threatening injuries, but one of the three people transferred in the Mazda will require specialized treatment due to glass in his eyes. No additional information was available as officials investigated, though citations may be pending.
Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their full recovery at this time.
