A single vehicle accident at the Altamont exit ramp has sent two to the hospital.

Preliminary investigative details from the Illinois State Police indicate at 7:59 Saturday night a black 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo driven by Dridra L. Riven 41, of Toledo, Ohio was westbound on I-70 attempting to exit at the milepost 82 exit ramp.  Riven lost control on the exit ramp, left the roadway, struck the ditch embankment, overturned, and came to a rest on its roof to the left of the roadway.  

Both Riven and a 15 year-old male juvenile passenger, also from Toledo Ohio, were both transported to St. Anthony Memorial Hospital.

Riven was cited for improper lane usage and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
