An 84 year old Pekin woman apparently died of a heart attack before her car crashed into another this morning.

Tazewell County Coroner Dennis Conover said a witness had seen Iola Preston slump in her seat before her vehicle pulled onto Route 29 from Brinkman Drive in Pekin.

Iola Preston's vehicle was struck by an on–coming pickup truck after it pulled onto Route 29.

Conover said an autopsy confirmed the woman's death was due to a heart condition.
