A somber incident unfolded on US 11, resulting in the tragic passing of Paul Douglas “Doug” Vines, a fighter battling bone marrow and prostate cancer. The car accident, which occurred on Friday afternoon, October 13, 2023, in Argo, took the life of 78-year-old Paul and left another driver injured, plunging his family and friends into mourning.

For over five years, Paul Vines courageously battled bone marrow and prostate cancer, facing immense discomfort due to neuropathy.
