Peru woman taken to Peoria hospital

A 21-year old Peru woman is in a Peoria hospital after her car spun and struck a truck south of Peru Friday afternoon. LaSalle County sheriff’s office says a witness said the car of Josie Malone spun out on snow and ice covered Route 251, a half mile north of the Oglesby spur. In so doing, it struck the northbound pickup of Laverne Kreiser. Both drivers went to IVCH with Malone later taken to St. Francis Medical Center in Peru. There were no passengers in the car.
