Man killed when SUV overturns at Rieder Road exit of Interstate 64 in St. Clair County

A 26-year-old man was killed early Friday when his SUV went off the Rieder Road exit of Interstate 64 and overturned, according to the Illinois State Police.

Dakota M. Jensen of Perrottet Drive, Mascoutah, was pronounced dead at 4:15 a.m., said St. Clair County Coroner Calvin Dye Sr.

State police said Jensen was traveling east when the accident happened. He took the Rieder Road exit of I-64 in Shiloh Valley Township, and his SUV went off the roadway on the right. He apparently “over corrected” and the vehicle went off the left side of the roadway, overturning several times and ejecting Jensen, state police said.

No one else was in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
