On July 17 at 9:57pm, a 16-year-old male juvenile from Pana was traveling northbound on 2400 East Road. The male turned left on 400 North Road and began to spin the tires. The vehicle slid sideways for approximately 90 feet before the 16-year-old reportedly overcorrected and lost control. The vehicle then struck the north ditch and overturned. The male and 2 passengers, another 16-year-old male from Pana and a 16-year-old female from Pana, were all taken to Pana Community Hospital with injuries described as minor by the report.

On July 17 at 7:30am, Matthew L. Fry, 36, of Taylorville was northbound on County Highway 1 and Brian L. Wilbur, 35, of Tovey was southbound on County Highway 1. Fry said that Wilbur was southbound and turned east onto County Highway 8 in front of him. Fry said that Wilbur was too close and he had to brake hard and steer to the left to avoid a collision. Fry avoided Wilbur but ran off the road into the west ditch. Wilbur stated he did not see Fry and turned onto County Highway 8. Wilbur said that when he heard the screech of brakes, he looked and saw the car but he was already on County Highway 8 when he heard the squealing brakes. He then parked in a rock lot on the north side of County Highway 8. There were no observable skid marks in the roadway but several witnesses said they also heard Fry breaking hard. No injuries were reported.
