JEFFERSON COUNTY — A single-vehicle rollover crash on Log Cabin Road near the Davis Road intersection in Jefferson County is said to be the cause of death for two Johnston City men.

25-year-old Dakota York succumbed to his injuries while at SSM Health Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon receiving treatment. 33-year-old Shane Penley died later Thursday night at Crossroads Community Hospital. Both York and Penley were ejected from the vehicle.

A third passenger, 21-year-old Brittany Poe of West Frankfort, was airlifted to a St. Louis area hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Bullard says the investigation into why the car left the roadway and hit the roadside ditch before rolling multiple times, is ongoing.

The crash occurred at 3:18pm on Thursday.
