ISP Investigating Fatal Crash On Route 104 Near I-55

A crash on Illinois 104 on Thursday afternoon has taken one life and sent multiple people including children to the hospital with injuries. 33-year-old Cassandra Prindle was traveling westbound in a 2014 Ford Explorer on Illinois Route 104, ¼ mile east of I-55 near Pawnee.  For an unknown reason, Prindle crossed the center line striking 20-year-old Fred Fleck of Sherman who was driving a 2019 International Semi-Truck. Prindle spun into the path of a 42-year-old female in a 2004 Toyota Camry, striking the vehicle nearly head-on.

 

The 42-year-old was pronounced deceased on the scene. The name is being withheld pending next of kin notification. Prindle went to an area hospital with injuries.  There were two minor children also in Prindle’s vehicle and they were also transported to the hospital with injuries. 

 

Prindle was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and improper lane usage and the crash is being investigated by ISP, and the ISP Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit or TCRU.
