Fayette Co, IL (November 11, 2020) – A Sparta man reportedly suffered fatal injuries following a two-vehicle collision in Fayette County on Monday, November 9. 

According to reports from the Illinois State Police, 26-year-old Evan Dotson of Sparta, Illinois was traveling southbound in a 2015 white Ford commercial truck on IL-185 at the time of the crash. Dotson reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel, leaving the roadway to the right, and overcorrected, crossing the centerline of the highway. The truck collided head-on with a 2018 silver GMC driven by 43-year-old Jesse Rosenberger of Vandalia, Illinois at around 10:45 a.m. 

The Ford continued to leave the roadway and collide with a tree. A passenger in the Ford, identified as 47-year-old Chat Kinstler of Sparta, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Dotson was transported to a nearby hospital for the treatment of sustained injuries. 

No other injuries were reported. An ongoing investigation into the collision is currently underway.
