Marine on leave dies in metro-east crash
BY KEVIN BERSETT - News-Democrat
A U.S. Marine on leave from his North Carolina base was killed in three-vehicle crash Thursday evening just east of the Poplar Street Bridge in East St. Louis, Illinois State Police Trooper Chad Thompson said.
The victim's 2006 Nissan Altima struck the rear of a tractor-trailer while they were driving in the westbound lanes of Interstate 64-55-70 in the wider, three-lane approach to the bridge. Police were withholding the identity of the victim until his family had been notified of his death.
A third vehicle bumped the rear of the Altima, but suffered no major damage and no injuries, Thompson said. The tractor-trailer had to be towed, but the driver was not hurt, he said.
