ROLLOVER - Illinois Val-
ley Fire District (IVFD)
firefighters and Ameri-
can Medical Response
(AMR) medics responded
to a single-vehicle crash
at approximately 9:28
p.m. Monday, Dec. 6. The
crash on Holland Loop at
Fort Briggs apparently
occurred due to wet
pavement and excess
speed, said IVFD Deputy
Chief Jeff Gavlik. There
were three people in the
pickup truck, and none
of them were transported
by AMR, said Gavlik.
