Two young people were injured in a crash in the northwest part of the county Tuesday night.

Effingham County Sheriff's Department reports the crash occurred at 8:37pm on Illinois Route 128, a half-mile north of 1950th Avenue. 21-year-old Christiana Quance of Beecher City lost control of the vehicle she was driving. The car left the roadway to the right, struck the ditch, and flipped over multiple times, coming to rest on its top.

Quance and her passenger, 11-year-old Sienna Quance of Beecher City, were both injured and were taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham.

Deputies cited Christiana Quance for improper lane usage and improper use of an electronic communication device.
