A fatal crash occurred in Marion County Friday evening. Just before 6pm, 45 year old, William Jones of Kell was traveling south on IL route 37 in a gray Ford F-150, approaching the Kell Road intersection, while at the same time; 40 year old Norman Boxx, also of Kell, was heading north on 37.

Jones began to make an early, left hand turn and entered into the north bound lane when the two vehicles collided, head-on in the north bound lane where they would come to rest.

Boxx was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon where he was later declared deceased.

Jones was cited for making an improper turn.
