An El Paso woman is dead after a two-vehicle collision early Monday in Woodford County.
Woodford County Coroner Tim Ruestman said in a news release the office responded around 7 a.m. to the scene of a collision on Illinois 251 south of Kappa.
Donna Guenther was the driver of a southbound Jeep that collided with a northbound GMC pickup truck. Guenther, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene and an autopsy showed the cause of death to be multiple instances of blunt force trauma.
Guenther was ejected from her vehicle after it rolled over from the impact of the collision, said authorities.
The driver of the GMC pickup, who was not identified, was taken to an area hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
The Woodford County Coroner's Office and the Illinois State Police are still investigating the crash, which Ruestman described as an accident.
