Two injured in three-vehicle accident

<span>Two people were transported to Red Bud Regional Hospital after a three-vehicle accident on April 14 in the 5400 block of Route 154.</span>

<span>According to the Randolph County Sheriff's Office crash report, a 2010 Mercedes GLK350 - driven by 59-year-old Eunju A. Suk of Creve Coeur, Mo. - and a 2013 Kenworth T800 tractor-trailer - driven by 55-year-old Devon Baerg of Butterfield, Minn. - were westbound on Route 154.</span>

<span>The third vehicle, a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan driven by 68-year-old Lawrence C. Stork of Sparta, was eastbound on the highway.</span>

<span>Suk reported to law enforcement that a vehicle in front of her went to pass the Kenworth, so she pulled into the westbound lane to also pass the Kenworth.</span>

<span>In doing so, Suk said she became impaired by sunlight and could not see, making contact with the trailer of the Kenworth and hitting the Grand Caravan head on.</span>

<span>The Mercedes then left the roadway and traveled down the embankment into a field, while the Grand Caravan spun as a result of the collision and came to a stop at the driveway of 5483 Route 154.</span>

<span>The Kenworth stopped on the highway. Both Suk and Stork were transported to the hospital with unspecified injuries, while Baerg was uninjured.</span>

<span>Suk was cited for improper passing. The accident was reported at 7:28 a.m., with Deputy Janice Barbour responding.</span>
