VERMILLION COUNTY— A Clinton man is dead while two others were  hospitalized  following a rollover crash in Vermillion County last night.

Emergency crews responded to the one-vehicle rollover crash on SR 163, west of SR 63. The crash claimed the life of the driver and injured two passengers.

Deceased:

•  Jayson R. Wallace,  46

Transported to an area hospital with what appear to be minor injuries:

• Corlin A.W. Yowell,  20, also of Clinton
• Dalton T. Creasey, age 19, of Hillsdale

 According to Indiana State Police Sgt. Joe Watts, Wallace was eastbound in the 1999 Toyota Corolla just before 7:30 p.m.
​
 "He lost control, traveled across the westbound lanes, entered a ditch area, and began rolling several times before coming to rest inverted in a field,"  Watts said this morning, adding that alcohol and speed may have been  factors in the crash.

 Black Diamond Fire/Rescue, Clinton Fire/Rescue, Vermillion County Coroner’s Office, Vermillion County EMS and  Montezuma Police Department assisted Indiana State Police at the scene.
