Three Kishwaukee Community College students are reported in stable condition today after they survived a collision with a semi tractor-trailer Jan. 28.

The driver of the car was pronounced dead on arrival at Kishwaukee Community Hospital.

The three students, who also were taken to Kishwaukee Community Hospital, are “doing OK,” a hospital employee said.

DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott said the victim, Dina Parish, 5231 W. Adams, Chicago, “failed to yield the right of way” to the semi. He said there is a traffic signal at the intersection of Malta Road and Route 38, where the accident took place.

Parish, traveling south on Malta Road, had a stop sign and a flashing light at the intersection when she turned left onto Route 38, Scott said.

The semi, traveling west on Route 38, had a yellow caution light.

Scott said no one was ticketed, but the driver would have been ticketed for failing to yield.

He said the traveling “speed of the semi was not determined because of witness accounts.”

Jacqueline Moore, 1110 Varsity Blvd., Landria Dennis, 211 Douglas Drive and Harold Dennis, 908 Greenbrier Road, were taken to Kishwaukee Hospital after the accident.

The victim was driving a Ford Fiesta and had to be extricated from the car after the accident.

DeKalb Fire Department Captain Warren Lubbers said the car was wrapped around a utility pole.

The truck driver, Bernard Slinkman, of Brookfield, sustained minor injuries from the accident.
