Two Injured in Crash in Henderson County
Two people are injured after a late-night crash in Henderson County.

That's according to State Police in Macomb. Troopers say the crash happened on Illinois Route 116 north of County Road 750 North around 11:05 pm Sunday night.

They say 20-year old Rebecca Ehlers from the Chicago suburb of Darien was headed north on 116 when her vehicle crossed the centerline and struck a vehicle driven by 49-year old Debbie Fields of Stronghurst.

Ehlers' vehicle overturned and came to rest on its top in the road, while Troopers say Fields' vehicle came to rest in a ditch on the west side of the road, causing Stronghurst firefighters to have to extricate her.

Ehlers was taken to OSF Holy Family Medical Center in Monmouth with moderate injuries, while Fields suffered moderate injuries as well and was taken to a Burlington, Iowa hospital.

Ehlers was cited for improper lane usage. Troopers say both drivers were wearing their seat belts.
