In the late evening hours of February 21, 2007, 35-year old Tania Cederholm of Woodstock was driving her vehicle northbound on Dunham Rd. At the intersection of Route 176 and Dunham, she entered into the intersection, pulling in front of an oncoming vehicle that was traveling eastbound and operated by David LeJune of Rockford. Mr. LeJune’s vehicle thereafter spun into the lane of oncoming westbound traffic and was struck by a third vehicle.
Mr. LeJune later died due to the injuries he sustained. Ms. Cederholm’s blood alcohol level was .246, more than three times the legal limit. She had two prior DUI violations.
This past week Ms. Cederholm was sentenced to eight years in the Illinois Department of Correction on one count of Aggravated Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol causing Death. This is a Class 2 Felony.
Ms. Cederholm was taken into custody after the sentencing hearing. She will be required to serve 85% of her prison sentence before being eligible for parole. This case was investigated by Sgt. Karen Groves of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department, and was prosecuted by Phil Hiscock and Ryan Blackney of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.
