On Saturday, July 21, Ogle County Deputies were dispatched to the intersection of North Mt. Morris Road and West Pond Road, Leaf River, for a two-vehicle accident.
After investigation, Deputies determined that a Chevy Equinox, operated by 19-year-old Cadence Albee of Freeport was traveling eastbound, when it disobeyed the stop sign on Pond Road. The Chevy was then struck by a Ford Transit van that was southbound on N. Mt. Morris Rd. Albee was cited for disobeying a stop sign, operating a vehicle without insurance, and not wearing a seatbelt.
Albee was transported to FHN for apparent minor injuries. Three occupants in the Transit van were transported to Swedish American for apparent minor injuries. Byron EMS, Leaf River EMS, and Mt. Morris EMS assisted Ogle County Deputies on scene.
