The Tazewell County coroner says 55-year-old Pekin resident Jennifer Shindledecker was riding a motorized scooter in the road, in the 1500 block of Willow Street when she was hit by a car Saturday night.
Pekin Public Information Officer Billie Ingles says the driver of the car was a 16-year-old female, also from Pekin.
Distracted driving was determined not to be a factor in the crash.
The 16-year-old driver was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
An investigation is ongoing.
