A head-on traffic crash in western Bureau County claimed a Peru man’s life Saturday morning. State Police say 41-year old Christopher Gedraitis was driving eastbound in the Annawan area when a westbound driver crossed into the eastbound lanes a little after midnight. The other driver, 27-year old Christopher Ivy of Chicago, also died.
State Police say a tractor trailer truck then hit both cars. Its driver wasn’t hurt.
It took nine hours Saturday morning to reopen I-80.
