Illinois State Police say they responded Monday morning to a three-vehicle crash with injuries in the southbound lane of I-39.
The preliminary investigation indicates that 25-year old John Danuk of Davis Junction was traveling northbound on Interstate 39. For unknown reasons, Danuk exited the roadway to the left, entered the southbound lanes of traffic, and struck a volkwagon being operated by 52-year-old David Henke of Janesville, Wisconsin head-on.
A Ford Transit, driven by 44-year-old Bradd Pezewski of Elgin, Illinois was traveling on Interstate 39 southbound at the location of the crash when it was struck by debris because of the crash.
Danuk and Henke were transported to an area hospital with injuries. Danuk was later pronounced deceased.
Troopers cited Pezewski for Operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle without Proper Classification.
