The St. Clair County coroner’s office has identified the man killed in a three-car crash on Frank Scott Parkway in Shiloh on Thursday.

Joshua Johnson, of Foxbrush Drive in Belleville, was pronounced dead at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital on the evening of Oct. 15 after his Ford Mustang crossed the center line at Cromwell Lane and struck another vehicle, said Coroner Calvin Dye Sr.

Johnson’s age was not available.

The Shiloh Police Department responded to the traffic crash just before 9 a.m., according to police.
