Paris woman killed in single-vehicle crash
PARIS, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) — Wednesday night, a single-vehicle crash on Lower Terre Haute Road resulted in the death of a 28-year-old Paris woman, according to the Edgar County Coroner Scott Barrett.
According to a Facebook post from the Edgar County Coroner's Office, Karlie D. Parson, 28, of Paris, Illinois, was pronounced dead on the scene of a crash after she was ejected from the vehicle.
The coroner's office said evidence on the scene shows that Parson was traveling South on Lower Terre Haute Road, approximately one and a half miles north of East 800th Road, when her vehicle left the icy roadway and traveled into a ditch on the west side of the road.
The car then traveled back onto the roadway before traveling back into the ditch, striking a metal culvert and flipping onto its roof. This caused Parson, the sole occupant, to be ejected from the vehicle
Edgar County Sheriff's Department (ECSD), Horizon Health EMS, Paris Fire Department and Oliver Fire Department all responded to the crash.
The incident remains under investigation by ECSD and the Edgar County Coroner.
