Three Hurt in Crash Near Rio
Three people are injured after what is believed to be a head-on collision near Rio.

Rio Fire Chief Chris LaGrow says his firefighters and Knox County Sheriffs Deputies were called to U-S 150 about a mile and a half north of the Rio corners just before 5 p-m Thursday.

LaGrow says it appears a pick-up truck with two people in it and another vehicle with just a driver collided.

Knox County Sheriff's Department officials have not yet released specific details about the crash, but the accident blocked Route 150 in both directions for a better part of an hour.

It appears as if all three people were taken by the ambulance to local hospitals, and both vehicles had to be towed from the scene.

There are unconfirmed reports the pickup truck had a pregnant female as a passenger.

Should more details be released, we'll let you know on WGIL and at www.wgil.com.
