According to the Morgan County Coroner’s Office, 15-year-old Adelisa “Addy” Rose Johnson was pronounced deceased following the single-vehicle crash at approximately 6:00 pm Friday.
Jacksonville School District 117 Superintendent Steve Ptacek said in a statement this morning that “It is with immense sorrow that I share news of this tragic event. The entire JSD117 community is grieving the loss of Addy, who was a cherished member of our school.”
