Three people were taken to area hospitals Friday night following a head-on collision south of Danville.

Illinois State Police said that at about 8:30 p.m., a car driven by 18 year old Thaddeus Serrano of Danville was southbound on Georgetown Road. It crossed the centerline for an unknown reason and hit a northbound car head-on near East Forrest Avenue.  Serrano was seriously injured and airlifted to an area hospital. He was issued tickets for improper lane usage, driving on the wrong side of the road, and driving too fast for conditions.

The driver of the other car, a 61-year-old woman, and her passenger, a 25-year-old woman, both from Westville, were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A section of the highway had to be closed for about two hours after the accident.
