On 12/23/24 at approximately 7:46pm, Fulton County Deputies were dispatched to a two-vehicle head-on collision located on U.S. Rt. 136 between Main Gate Rd. and Ayrshire Rd. Table Grove Fire and Fulton County EMS were also dispatched to the scene. On arrival, deputies were notified that one driver, Adam Stevenson, 48 of Astoria, IL was deceased and later positively identified by Fulton Coroner Austin Rhodes. The driver of the second vehicle, Levi Palm, 21 of Table Grove, IL was treated by Table Grove Fire and Fulton County EMS personnel and was taken by ambulance to the McDonough District Hospital.
