Coroner looking for Danville crash victim's next of kin



DANVILLE, Ill. (WCIA) — The Vermilion County Coroner has named the victim of a deadly pedestrian-vs.-car crash that took place early Sunday morning in Danville.

James W. Ritter, 82 of Danville, was hit by a single vehicle at 3:43 a.m. near North Gilbert and West North Streets. Coroner Jane McFadden said Ritter was a U.S. Army veteran.

McFadden added that her office’s attempts to find Ritter’s living relatives “have been exhausted.” Anyone with information regarding next of kin are asked to call the Vermilion County Coroner’s Office at 217-554-6030.

An autopsy was performed on Monday, McFadden said, but results were not immediately shared. The Coroner’s Office and the Illinois State Police continue to investigate the incident.
