Two injured in Shabbona crash
Two people were injured in a crash on Leland Road south of Preserve Road early Monday morning, according to a statement from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office.
Police said they were called to the area, where a Dodge Durango had struck a tree, about 6:30 a.m. The vehicle was apparently northbound when it lost control, crossed into the southbound lane and hit the culvert, police said. It then hit two trees before coming to rest.
When police arrived, they could not locate a driver, the statement said. Kathy L.

Hanson was charged with driving under the influence and driving an uninsured vehicle.
