According to Grundy County Sheriff’s Investigators, the collision involved a white 2014 Freightliner Cascadia, driven by 32-year-old Jermaine W. Renix of Dolton, IL, and a red 2011 GMC Sierra, driven by 63-year-old Kenneth A. Bolte of Minooka, IL, who was tragically pronounced deceased at the scene.

According to the initial report, the Freightliner was traveling south on Grove Road and failed to stop at the intersection, colliding with the GMC Sierra traveling east on Sherrill Road. The impact caused the Sierra to become lodged under the trailer of the Freightliner.
