DeKALB – About one in six drivers in Illinois are uninsured, and Tracy Leonard knows what can happen when encountering one.

Leonard’s 18-year-old daughter, Teale Noble, ended up in serious condition at a hospital after a Feb. 27 car crash that also killed an 11-year-old Sycamore boy. Police said the crash was caused by an uninsured driver who rear-ended the vehicle in which Noble was a passenger.

Now, Leonard must deal with unknown costs as her daughter, recently released from the hospital, deals with serious head injuries and trauma.
