Illinois State Police are investigating a three-car crash that resulted in the death of a Mascoutah woman Thursday afternoon.
Robin D. Cumber, 63, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Illinois State Police.
According ISP, a 2011 Kia Sorento driven by Robert C. Appel, 33, of Sparta, and a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Jared D. Bargman, 33, of Chester, were traveling eastbound on Illinois 150 near Briarhill Road in Randolph County.
Bargman slowed to allow a graintruck in front of him make a left turn into a field. Appel failed to reduce his speed, state police said, and he crashed in Bargman, pushing his Kia into the westbound lane of Illinois 150.
Cuber, who was driving westbound in a 2018 Nissan NV200, struck Bargman head on. She was pronounced dead at the scene at about 3:26 p.m., the ISP release stated.
Both Bargman and Appel were transported to an area hospital with injuries police describe as non-life-threatening.
The Illinois State Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is continuing the investigation.
