Kankakee, IL : Peotone man dies in 3-car crash in Green Garden township on Wednesday, March 8, 2017

A three-vehicle accident on Wednesday in Green Garden township claimed the life of a Peotone man, according to published reports.

Charles R. Sharp, 57, died at 1:09 a.m. Thursday at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, according to the Will County Coroner's Office.

Will County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Sharp was one of three drivers involved in the crash at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday at Center and Pauling roads.

"Initial reports show a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu driven by Donna J. Dust, 68, of Beecher, was eastbound on Pauling Road, but she did not see the stop sign," said Hoffmeyer, in the published report.

The Malibu struck on the driver's side of Sharp's 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The Mercury was pushed into the northbound lane and collided with a 2011 Cadillac SUV head-on, according to the police report. All three vehicles ended up in a ditch on the west side of Center Road. There were no passengers in any of the cars.

The driver of the SUV, a 66-year-old Manteno woman, was taken to Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee, where she was treated for bruising to her head, neck and back, and released, according to police reports.

Dust was taken to Silver Cross Hospital and was later ticketed for disregarding a stop sign, Hoffmeyer said.

The coroner's office indicated that medical records, toxicology results and police reports will be needed to determine the cause and manner of Sharp's death.
