GIBSON CITY — The Hoopeston Area Middle School softball team canceled a scheduled Tuesday game as players continue to recover from a Saturday crash where their bus collided with another vehicle, leaving one of the vehicle’s occupants dead.
“No major injuries, but the girls are still sore,” athletic director Nathan Burkowski said Monday night of those who’d been on the bus.
The crash occurred near the intersection of Illinois 9 and Ford County Road 1000 E near Gibson City.
Illinois State Police responded to the scene at 8:38 a.m. Saturday and learned that a car traveling on 1000 E failed to yield, entering Illinois 9 in front of the bus, which then hit it.
