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.
