One Person Injured In Jo Daviess County Accident

A Northwest Illinois woman was injured Sunday when her vehicle rolled after she swerved to avoid an oncoming car on a rural Galena road. 19 year old Peyton Bastian of Hanover was northbound on West Blackjack Road about a half-mile north of West Beaty Hill Road about 4:30 p.m. when she crested a small hill and encountered a southbound vehicle partially in the northbound lane. Bastian took evasive action to avoid a collision, veering off the road and into a ditch and rolled over. The southbound vehicle continued on without stopping.  Both Bastian and a witness at the scene provided sheriff’s officials with a description of the vehicle. Bastian was taken to Midwest Medical Center in Galena for treatment of injuries. The crash remains under investigation.
