A 67-year-old Addieville woman has died as a result of a single-vehicle crash on Illinois Route 15 east of Geisel Lane in Washington County.
Washington County Coroner Mark Styninger says Darlene Eggemann was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:34 Friday night.
The coroner reports that Eggemann appears to have been the unrestrained driver of a late model GMC Canyon pickup truck that was traveling west on Route 15 when it failed to negotiate a curve in the road and struck the ditch on the north side of the pavement. The impact caused the pickup to flip several times, ejecting Eggemann from the vehicle.
Styninger is listing the cause of death as accidental and the result of blunt force trauma.
The Washington County Ambulance Service, Nashville Fire and Police Departments, and the Illinois State Police all assisted at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation by Illinois State Police and the Washington County Coroner’s office.
