Macoupin County, IL — Last Tuesday, an elderly woman from Missouri was injured after her car was in an accident with an 18-wheeler truck near Mt. Olive, Illinois. Police identified the woman as 78-year old Wilma Polly and said that she required airlift transport to a hospital after the accident.
This happened along I-55 on Tuesday, December 30, north of Mt. Olive. Mrs. Polly was driving her Nissan car north along the interstate that morning at about 11:15 a.m. when she lost control near mile marker 46.
Her Nissan swerved into the median, where it vaulted into the air and crashed into the southbound lanes of traffic and hit a passing 18-wheeler truck. The truck then overturned and partially landed on Mrs. Polly’s car.
She was injured and had to be airlifted to a hospital, though her current condition isn’t available.
