Citations Issued In Pedestrian Death

The driver who hit and killed a jogger with her car Aug. 23 has been issued two traffic citations. 

Monica Mendoza, a 21-year-old Illinois State University student has been cited for disobeying a stop sign and failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. 

The crash in late August killed 74-year-old Lanny Lobdell as he crossed the intersection at Grandview and Vernon in Normal. Normal Police and Fire Departments found Lobdell pinned under the vehicle. Mendoza was uninjured. 

The McLean County State's Attorney's office is reviewing the case.
