Hanneken
The school building will be the site of a funeral for fallen State Police Trooper Todd Hanneken. Representatives of various law enforcement agencies are staged around the school assisting with the service. Traffic flow in the area is restricted.
A graduate of Mount Zion High School, Hanneken, 45, of Long Creek, died March 25 when his squad car collided into a utility pole and a tree on Illinois 10 in Bondville. Hanneken was on patrol but State Police said he was not responding to a call and there appeared to be no signs of foul play. An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
