A Champaign man was hospitalized following a three-vehicle wreck on Monday evening near Rantoul. The man, a 31-year-old Champaign resident was driving his 2003 Ford Edge when authorities believe he fell asleep at the wheel. His car then veered off the road, struck a guardrail, and came to rest in the left lane of the interstate. Two vehicles subsequently struck the vehicle.
The other two vehicles in the accident, a black SUV driven by an Urbana woman and a semi-trailer driven by a man from Lemont, were damaged, but the drivers were unharmed. Authorities say that all involved were wearing their seatbelts.
