Residents in central Illinois know a dangerous corridor in Logan County has taken the lives of several motorists over the years, and a local lawmaker is calling on the Illinois Department of Transportation and the State Police to look into this. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, State Rep. Sally Turner told Regional Radio she has noticed Route 121 between Mt. Pulaski and Lincoln has seen its share of serious vehicle accidents, some fatal, and she wants something done about it.

The Lincoln Republican says the area between Lincoln and Mt. Pulaski is particularly treacherous. She says the terrain is not great for passing, and many motorists get in a hurry in that area.

Route 121 connects Lincoln and Decatur, and Sen. Turner says that between the traffic heading to those two communities, plus the agricultural use it gets, it is a very busy road and is encouraging motorists to slow down and be patient.
