OGLE COUNTY – A GoFundMe page has been started for the members of a family injured in a head on collision that also killed an Ogle County Sheriff’s Department officer on July 28.
Randall L. Hilliard, 50, from Byron, a lieutenant with the sheriff’s department, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened at about 1:27 a.m. on IL Route 72 and Oak Court. He was off duty at the time of the collision.
Hilliard was driving a 2003 Dodge pickup east on IL Route 72 when his vehicle apparently crossed the center line and struck a 2007 Jeep SUV driven by Rick A. Sgro, 51, of Oregon. Also in the Jeep were Allison R. Sgro, 24, from Mount Morris, Abigail E. Sgro, 20, from Mount Morris and Daniel W. Merritt, 20, from Gering, Neb.
Rick is Allison and Abigail’s uncle.
All members of the Sgro family were transported to SwedishAmerican Hospital in Rockford. Merritt was transported to Mercyhealth Hospital in Rockford.
