SUMMARY: A head-on crash on I-44 in Eureka claimed the life of 62-year-old Lane Rocco, who drove east in westbound lanes, causing a multi-vehicle pileup including an 18-wheeler. Additionally, a family in O’Fallon, Illinois, is advocating for a change in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) rules after their freshman son was banned from his cross-country team for participating in a charity race. The IHSA enforces strict eligibility rules to maintain equity, but the family argues that participation in charitable events should be exempt. An online petition for rule change has gathered over 1,000 signatures.

O’Fallon Township High School freshman Cole Deering loves running. He was devastated when his cross-country coach told him he was currently ineligible to compete because of a charity run Deering recently participated in.
