JUSTICE JONES, concurring in part and dissenting in part: I concur in the result reached by the majority that there is no showing in the record that the injury alleged in plaintiff’s complaint occurred in Will County, or even that it did not occur in Madison County. However, I dissent from the dicta utilized by the majority to state that even if the injury had been received in Will County the motion was still properly denied. My reasons for this dissent are set forth in my dissents in the cases of Baker v. Burlington Northern R.R. Co. (1986), 149 Ill. App. 3d 674, and Bland v. Norfolk & Western Ry. Co. (1986), 140 Ill. App. 3d 862, 489 N.E.2d 435.
