Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon has released the name of the Pawnee woman killed in yesterday’s multi-vehicle accident on Route 104 just east of Interstate 55. 42 year-old LaDonna Rude died from multiple blunt force injuries according to the autopsy.

A preliminary investigation indicates a vehicle in front of Rude crossed the center line, crashing into a semi-truck.  As a result, it spun into the path of Rude’s vehicle, resulting in a nearly head on collision. The accident remains under investigation.
