The Christian County Sheriff’s Office is investigating two deadly crashes that happened just hours apart on Wednesday.

The first crash happened around 7:50 Wednesday morning at the intersection of 1300 East and 2000 North Roads. Deputies say a Chevrolet Cobalt failed to stop at a stop sign and hit a Chrysler Pacifica on the driver’s side.  The driver of the Pacifica, 37-year-old Jessica Stephens, was taken to the hospital but later died from her injuries.

Then, around 5:20 that evening, first responders were called to another two-vehicle crash, this one near 1300 East Road and 000 North Road. Investigators say 91-year-old Mary Ann Johnson of Nokomis pulled into the path of a northbound pickup truck. She was also taken to Taylorville Memorial Hospital, where she later died.

Both crashes remain under investigation by the Christian County Sheriff’s Office and the Christian County Coroner’s Office.
