Summary
Five people were injured in Friday’s Uptown roundabout crash, with the pickup driver in critical but stable condition and three passengers plus a pedestrian listed as stable.
Police said the truck was traveling east on Beaufort Street when it left the roadway, struck a pedestrian and hit the Children’s Discovery Museum.
One passenger and the driver were taken to an out-of-town hospital, and investigators said they have issued a citation while awaiting laboratory results related to the driver.
The museum was closed because of a power outage at a time many children would normally have been nearby, and the McLean County Accident Reconstruction Team is helping continue the investigation.
