Two people were killed and another person was injured in a one-vehicle crash in Saline County Thursday afternoon. Illinois State Police say around 3:10 p.m., 73-year-old Donald R. Childers of Marion was driving his SUV north on Route 34 just north of Womble Road when he swerved to miss a slower-moving vehicle in the roadway and lost control of his vehicle on the wet pavement. It left the roadway and struck a tree. Childers was pronounced dead at the scene by the Saline County Coroner’s office. Two passengers, 68-year-old Betty J. Childers and 27-year-old David Grace, both also of Marion, were taken by ambulance to an area hospital for injuries they received from the crash. Betty Childers was later pronounced dead at the hospital. No charges were filed.
