Abingdon Man Injured in Accident
An Abingdon man is in a Peoria Hospital following a crash officials are investigating just north of his city.

The Knox County Sheriffs Department says the accident happened just after 11:30 pm Thursday north of Abingdon on Illinois Route 41 near the intersection with Knox County Highway Five.

An eyewitness tells deputies that a vehicle found to be driven by 36-year old Michael Harroun made a pass travelling south on 41 at a high rate of speed, at which time the vehicle spun out of control and flipped over, landing in a ditch.

Deputies say Abingdon Firefighters had to extricate Harroun from the vehicle. He was transported by ambulance to OSF Saint Mary Medical Center, but was later Life-Flighted to Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

Harroun is listed in fair condition according to a hospital spokesperson. The crash, deputies say, remains under investigation.
