Watson was ejected from the car and into a nearby cornfield. Watson was not wearing a seat belt, Hines said. The car was located on its tires near the driveway of 32075 N. Illinois Route 78. The car looked as if it had been parked there by a resident, and as a result the accident was not immediately reported, Hines said.
