Illinois State Police (ISP) said a traffic crash in Warren County killed two people Saturday night.

ISP reported Hannah Porter, 34, of Monmouth was southbound on Illinois Route 135, just north of 235th Avenue. Her 2014 Buick Encore crossed the center line and collided head-on with the northbound 2018 Toyota Highlander driven by Angela Deblock, 46, of Aledo.

Porter and a passenger in Deblock’s vehicle died. Roland Nelson, 78, of Viola was in the back seat of the Highlander.

Deblock and her front seat passenger were injured in the crash. ISP said she suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a hospital in the region, while John Deblock, 50, of Aledo was taken by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.
