A Kendall County Sheriff's deputy who was struck by a vehicle while on duty has not yet returned to work and is recovering from her injuries.
Sheriff's Deputy Robyn Williams and two motorists were injured in a three-vehicle crash on Eldamain Road north of Schaefer Road in Little Rock Township on April 19.
Police said the accident occurred as Williams was out of her squad car checking on an unoccupied vehicle that was in a ditch near the road.
According to police, a vehicle driven by Shelby Zimmerman, 25, of the 200 block of Sheridan Road, Sheridan, went out of control and struck another vehicle that was driven by Frederick M. Moore, 36, of the 100 block of Pamela Drive, Bolingbrook. Zimmerman’s vehicle then hit the vehicle that was in the ditch.
Williams was injured while trying to avoid being struck by Zimmerman’s vehicle. Moore and Williams were both transported to an area hospital, while Zimmerman was cited for driving too fast for conditions and not having a valid registration. Police said Eldamain Road was shut down for approximately two hours following the crash.
