Sisters Tragically Killed In Auto Accident with Illinois Trooper

Jessica Uhl and her younger sister, Kelli of Collinsville, Illinois were both killed Saturday when an Illinois State trooper lost control of his patrol car, crossed the median and hit them on Highway 64 near Scott Air Force Base.

According to the police, the trooper claimed another unidentified vehicle cut him off, causing him to lose control of his vehicle. The driver of that vehicle has not been identified.

The Uhl sisters were both pronounced dead at the scene. The police officer was listed as being in stable condition at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.

Jessica and Kelli Uhl were leaving their father's house in Mascoutah, Illinois and were heading to take part in a family photo shoot.

When additional information is released, we will post updated information here. We are extremely interested what the video footage from the patrolman's vehicle reveals as to the identity and/or existence of this phantom vehicle.
