The head-on crash early Sunday morning on Illinois Route 34 killed three people.
In a press release, Illinois State Police say a car driven by 27-year-old David A. Wasson of Harrisburg crossed the center line of the road and struck a limousine driven by 39-year-old Jarret M. Bencie of Marion. When police arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames.
Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene, and a passenger in the limo, 42-year-old Kenny N. Webb of Marion, died at a local hospital. The other eight passengers in the limo were taken to area hospitals for treatment of injuries they received.
Route 34 was closed for about six hours after the accident.
