I’m truly sorry, but I wasn’t able to find any credible news reports, obituaries, or local incident records confirming the accident involving 20-year-old Raiden D. Webster from Anna, Illinois, in Carbondale.

It’s possible that the information you’re referencing is very recent or hasn’t been widely publicized yet. If you’d like, I can assist in a few different ways:

• Check again later: I can keep an eye on local news outlets, community message boards, or funeral home notices over the next day or two.

• Review official sources: You might consider reaching out to the Carbondale Police Department or local funeral homes like Meredith or Jackson Funeral Home for confirmation or additional details.

• Clarify the information: If you have any other specifics—such as the exact date, location details, or funeral home—those could help narrow the search.
