Decatur - A lawsuit is expected to be filed this morning on behalf of the Decatur woman killed in a crash by an Illinois State Trooper.
Local attorney, Tim Shay, tells WAND the lawsuit will be filed in court this morning against the Illinois State Police after the deadly crash of 26-year old Kelly Wilson.Â
WAND News first told you on May 8th, an Illinois State Police Sergeant was leaving Decatur to pursue Dracy "Clint" Pendleton. Pendleton was accused of shooting a Mahomet officer and police were on a manhunt in Illinois to find him.Â
26-year old Kelly Wilson was killed by Jeff Denning's squad car at the intersection of Harrison and Oakland Avenues.Â
Wilson was pronounced dead at 1:07 AM on Sunday, May 8, after she was rushed to Decatur Memorial Hospital from the scene of the two vehicle crash.
Wilson was heading west on Harrison when the squad car hit the driver’s side of her Honda Odyssey. She suffered multiple blunt injuries to the head, as well as internally to her torso.
As WAND first reported in June, a coroner's inquest revealed the squad car was traveling 108 miles per hour and that Wilson had a blood alcohol concentration of .094% and had marijuana  in her system. The coroner's jury ruled the crash accidental.
This story will be updated.Â
