 Baldwin was issued a citation for failing to reduce speed to
avoid an accident.
This crash is being investigated by the Illinois State Police.
During the accident the family's pet pit bull dog was thrown from
the truck and was last seen running toward Lincoln on the
interstate. Bob is a very friendly and loving dog and no doubt
very scared right now, Thomas Baldwin said Monday morning. They
would like any information from anybody regarding his whereabouts.
Bob is fawn-colored and has black spots on his tongue. Contact Tom,
(217) 737-4136, or Julie (217) 341-9208.
