PEORIA COUNTY, Ill. – The Peoria County Sheriff’s Office is urging parents to talk to their teenagers about safe driving after a rollover crash Friday morning south of Dunlap.
The sheriff’s office says a 16-year-old male flipped his vehicle in the area of Illinois Route 91 and Salem School Road after it reportedly crossed into oncoming traffic. He was taken to a local hospital with a serious head injury.
The sheriff’s office says parents should warn their kids about speeding, distracted driving, and being rested enough to drive.
The office also wants parents to talk to their children about the dangers of drinking and driving, or getting into a vehicle with someone who has been drinking, with Homecoming season in full swing.
