Two People Injured In Crash In Jo Daviess County

Two people were injured in a rear-end crash Thursday in Jo Daviess County. 61 year old JoAnne Diehl of Elizabeth, and 30 year old Darron Delaney of South Carolina both were taken by ambulance to FHN Memorial Hospital in Freeport for treatment. According to the Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Department, the crash happened at about 12:20 p.m. on Highway 20 in rural Stockton. Reports say that both Delaney and Diehl were eastbound on the highway when Delaney slowed his vehicle to turn off the roadway and into a construction site. Diehl failed to reduce her speed in time, and her vehicle rear-ended the one driven by Delaney. Diehl’s vehicle then overturned. Diehl was cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash, while Delaney was cited with driving with a suspended license.
