A 21-year-old Red Bud man died in a rollover crash Monday evening near Marissa.

The crash occurred on Randolph County Line Road near the Marissa Woods Nature Preserve.

Police said a 2008 Jeep Wrangler driven by Zacharie C. Antry, 21, of Red Bud was westbound on Randolph County Line Road and failed to stop at Doza Creek Road. The Wrangler was struck in the intersection on the rear passenger side by a southbound 2014 Nissan Altima driven by Tanya L. Welten, 39, of Baldwin.

The Wrangler rolled several times after impact, ejecting Antry. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly before 7 p.m.

A 17-year-old passenger in the Wrangler, Cassidy Dickerson of New Athens, was transported to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Belleville for treatment of injuries.

Welten was not injured in the crash.

Antry was a member of First Baptist Church of Waterloo and was employed as a welder at Progressive Recovery Inc. in Dupo.
