A Dixon girl, 13, was treated and released from KSB Hospital after a Tuesday morning collision on Palmyra Road. Illinois State Police say a car driven by 23 year old Michael Bufford struck the bicycle as it crossed near Wildcat Road, sending the rider about 100 feet and shattering the windshield.
KSB Hospital held an internal disaster drill to test emergency response, shuffling staff and supplies and testing communications. The exercise simulated a bus rollover on Lowell Park Road with a fictitious fatality and multiple injuries, mirroring but not involving local fire and police agencies.
