Monmouth Men Injured In Henderson County Crash
Two Monmouth men are hospitalized with what has been described as serious injuries when the car they were in crashed Tuesday morning in Henderson County.

State Police in Macomb say the accident happened around 7:15 a-m yesterday near Bald Bluff in Henderson County, on Illinois Route 94 at County Road 2650 North.

Troopers say 24-year old Ezekiel Arnold was driving 24-year old Jacob Harvey's Honda Civic at the time, headed westbound approaching a curve, when he allegedly lost control, running off the road on the right, spun backwards, and struck a parked tractor.

Arnold and Harvey were taken by helicopter to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria where their current conditions aren't available.

Arnold faces traffic charges including Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Driving on a Revoked License, and other charges.

Harvey faces a number of traffic charges, including Permitting a Person Under the Influence of Alcohol to Drive.

State Troopers say Warren and Henderson County Sheriffs Deputies, and fire and ambulance units from Biggsville and Oquawka were among the agencies that aided in dealing with the crash.
