That semi immediately swerved to go back to the left lane again. Ward’s semi then hit the vehicle in the right lane.
Both the driver, John Miroballi, 68 of Wood Dale, Illinois and front seat passenger, Jeannie Miroballi, 46, of Wood Dale, Illinois were pronounced dead at the scene by the Jasper County Coroner of massive blunt force trauma.
