Interstate deaths ruled accidental

PRINCETON — The deaths of two area men less than one day and one-half mile apart along Interstate 80 were ruled accidental by a Bureau County coroner's jury Thursday.

On June 24, Robin J. Hawthorne, 56, of Streator was killed in a four-vehicle accident near Mile Marker 67 on Interstate 80.

Illinois State Trooper Jonathan Kueker said the driver of the first vehicle began drifting toward the median, overcorrected, and struck a nearby vehicle.
