Aurora man arrested after single-vehicle crash north of Marseilles

A 63-year-old Aurora man was treated at OSF St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Ottawa then taken to the La Salle County Jail after a single-vehicle crash north of Marseilles.

The La Salle County Sheriff’s Office said Robert Nies was driving north on East 24th Road near Route 71 at 6:06 p.m. Thursday when he lost control of his vehicle negotiating a curve and struck a tree.

Nies was cited on complaints of driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and illegal transportation of alcohol. Nies also was arrested on failure to appear warrants in Will and Kane counties.

After he was treated for minor injuries at the Ottawa hospital, he was taken to the La Salle County Jail.
