A young Crescent City woman was killed in a head-on collision (Friday) in Iroquois County.

19-year-old Allison Seggebruch was pronounced dead at the scene. She was the driver of a compact-car that collided with a freightliner semi on U.S. Route 49, north of Crescent City just past 12 Noon.

Illinois State Police report the victim was southbound (near County Road 2335 N). Police said Seggebruch merged into the northbound lane to pass another southbound semi and then met the northbound unit.

The driver of the freightliner was taken to Riverside Hospital in Kankakee.

Several area fire departments and Riverside and IMH ambulance personnel responded.
