The 13-year-old boy was not identified in a news release from McLean County Coroner Kathleen Yoder, but she said the coroner’s office was notified of the boy’s death around 1:30 a.m.
The boy died at Carle Bromenn Medical Center. The crash itself happened around midnight on U.S. Route 136, under the I-55 overpass.
The boy was a passenger of a mid-size SUV. The driver of the SUV was taken to an area hospital. Their condition is unknown at this time.
An autopsy was scheduled for May 25, according to Yoder.
