Two children are in critical condition and a Pembroke Township woman arrested following a single-vehicle crash Friday.
The crash occurred near the area of the 3700 block of East Illinois Route 17, Kankakee County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
Deputies were dispatched to the area after KanComm received an automated crash alert from an iPhone.
Deputies discovered a pickup truck partially submerged in almost two feet of partially frozen creek water.
The vehicle was being operated by 58-year-old Phyllis A. Moses, of Pembroke Township, and was occupied by two young children at the time of the incident.
Deputies focused their efforts on ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone involved, according to the release.
Moses was taken to a local hospital where she was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The two young children were both taken to a Chicago-area hospital where they both remain in critical condition at this time, according to the release.
