MARION, Ill. (KBSI) – Illinois State Police report five crashes involving ISP squad cars over the extended Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend. One of those crashes happened in Marion and resulted in charges filed.

The driver of a Mitsubishi, 18-year-old Liani I. Anino of Greenfield, Indiana was charged with the Move Over Law – failure to yield to stationary emergency vehicle and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

On January 14, about 5:05 p.m., a trooper from ISP Troop 10 was assisting with a crash on the Interstate 57 southbound exit ramp to Illinois Route 13 in Marion.

The trooper’s fully marked squad car was stationary on the right shoulder of the exit ramp with its emergency lights activated while assisting with a crash in the right ditch.

A Mitsubishi Galant approaching the area, lost control and struck the rear of the ISP squad car, according to ISP.

The force of the impact pushed the ISP squad car forward into the rear of an IDOT truck that was also on scene assisting with the crash.

The trooper was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
