Victim Identified In Fatal Crash Near Rio
An identity has been made public in connection with an accident earlier this week that killed a Rio man.

The Watson Funeral Home is handling services for 44-year old Patrick Canon. The funeral home says services will be held there Saturday morning.

Canon was the man driving a black 1993 Chevy Camaro around 1:40 Tuesday afternoon that turned on to U-S Highway 150 from Knox County Road 2900 North.

Illinois State Troopers say the Camaro was then struck by a blue 2002 Ford pickup truck headed Southbound on 150.

Canon was pronounced dead at the scene while the truck driver sustained minor injuries.

Troopers have not released more information about the incident since their initial report Tuesday.

It's believed an investigation into the crash is continuing.
