We learned that the Illinois woman who was killed in a semi versus vehicle accident this morning on Route 1 in Marshall was a Lincoln Trail College student and member of the softball team. . .
According to the Illinois State Police 20 year old Audria Truelove, of Martinsville, Illinois was traveling behind a semi-truck driven by 39 year old Rahshawn Jordan of Maryland.
When Jordan slowed down due to feeling ill, ISP says Truelove did not slow down and struck the back of the trailer, causing the fatal accident.

Note: In order to raise awareness and preserve the memories of underride victims — precious ones gone too soon — I have been writing memorial posts on what appear to me to be underride crashes. I am not a crash reconstructionist, and I do not have all the facts on these crashes; but underride should be investigated as a potential factor in truck crash injuries and deaths.
