No Foul Play Suspected in Death of Woman

Authorities say preliminary information indicates no foul play in the death of an area woman in Clay County over the weekend.

34-year-old Amber R. Mahon of Sailor Springs died Saturday evening of injuries she sustained in an incident Friday afternoon. Illinois State Police say a pickup truck was traveling on Sailor Springs Road, one mile east of the Dieterich/Clay City Blacktop, when Mahon exited the moving vehicle. The report indicates Mahon sustained multiple injuries and was airlifted to Carle Hospital in Urbana, where she died.

State Police have identified the driver of the pickup truck, but his name is not being released at this time. Police say they do not believe the driver was involved in Mahon's decision to exit the vehicle.

District 12 state troopers and Zone 7 Investigators were both on scene as were deputies from the Clay County Sheriff's Department. The officers on scene included a Crime Scene Investigator and a crash reconstruction officer.
