A Rockbridge man was killed in a three vehicle accident south of Greenfield Saturday night.

According to Illinois State Police, 44 year old Darren Winn of Rockbridge was driving a 2004 Chevrolet northbound on Rt. 267 when the vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane of traffic at 8:39pm and into the path of 58 year old James Klug of Brighton who was dirving a 2011 Ford Truck south on Rt. 267. Klug swerved off the road but was side swiped by the Winn vehicle which then ran head-on into a 2014 Kia driven by 57 year old Janice Klug of Brighton.

Winn was ejected from his vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The other drivers were not inured.

State Police report that alcohol was a factor in the crash.
