Excerpts from 25newsnow.com:

Two Illinois State Police Troopers suffered minor injuries early Saturday morning while rescuing a driver from a fiery crash on Cedar Street in East Peoria.

Assistant Fire Chief Ronnie Marmitt says the vehicle was heading east on Cedar Street when it drove through the construction zone where there was no pavement, and hit the guardrail.

The East Peoria Fire Department quickly put out the fire. The driver, who was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the crash, was taken to the hospital for treatment.
