By Pantagraph staff
STREATOR -- The youth killed in a weekend accident was identified Monday as a Streator High School junior.
Killed was David Robinson, 17, of Streator, who was thrown from the one-vehicle accident on a Reading Township road south of Streator.
He died in the emergency room of St. Mary’s Hospital in Streator about a half hour after the 10:30 p.m. accident Saturday.
Livingston County authorities said he was in the back seat of the car when the accident occurred and was the only one not wearing a seat belt.
The driver and four other passengers, all from Streator, were treated for injuries and released.
Fellow students were told of the accident when school began Monday. School officials and the LaSalle County’s school crises assistance team were on hand for those students who wanted grief counseling.
Authorities said Robinson was in a car driven by Johnathan Doedler, 18, of Streator, who rolled the vehicle while trying to avoid a deer. He was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions on the rain-slicked road.
Also treated for injuries were Gavin Castillo, 18, Chaz Jesiolowski, 17, and Seth Hersheway, 16, all of Streator.
