Preliminary investigation shows the driver of the red F150 was traveling southbound on Castle Hot Springs Road while the white Kia Forte was traveling northbound. However, the cause of this collision is still being investigated. “The red F150 had one occupant at the time of the collision. The occupant was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries but has since been released. The white Kia Forte had three occupants inside the vehicle,” the statement added.
Peoria Police said the driver was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries but has since been released.
