very early Christmas accident

Just five minutes into Christmas day, and the county sheriff’s office was needed southwest of Marseilles. LaSalle County sheriff’s office says 27-year old Tonya McCormick was eastbound on North 2653rd road when the approaching car of 19-year old Benjamin Dial of Ottawa slid on ice and collided with McCormick’s. The report says Dial was taken to Ottawa Regional for minor injuries while McCormick was treated at the scene. Dial was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
