Juveniles Injured in Saturday Night Crash

At 9:41pm Saturday night a pickup truck driven by a 16-year old male from Teutopolis was traveling four miles north of Montose in Cumberland county. As the truck was headed east on county road 350N it approached the interstection with 500E. The vehicle failed to stop and went through intersection and the ditch on the east side of 500E. The truck continued approximately 250 feet before going off a creek embankment into the creek, and came to a rest in the creek bed.

The driver and a juvenile passenger were taken by Neoga Ambulance to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital.  Two other juvenile passengers refused treatment at the scene.

The driver was ticketed for Disobeying a Traffic Control Device and Exceeding the One Passenger Limit.
