PEORIA, Ill. – Peoria Police say what started as a shooting in South Peoria turned into a fatal car crash not long after.
Police say the shooting happened just before 11 Wednesday night on W. Ann St., with a home and a vehicle being struck.
Not long after, a vehicle allegedly fleeing the area at a high rate of speed, eventually struck two vehicles, with the driver of one of those vehicles later died at a local hospital.
The driver of one of those – Wardwick Millburn,. 46, – was pronounced dead a few hours later. The Peoria County Coroner says an autopsy will be Friday.
The driver of the suspect vehicle remains hospitalized, but police say Vanda Terrell, 51, will be arrested on several traffic offenses, along with DUI and a host of weapons charges upon his release.
The passenger in that vehicle declined medical attention but was taken to jail on warrants.
Police say they are continuing to investigate.
