DESOTO – A Texas man was involved in a one vehicle, rollover crash on U.S. 51 about a quarter mile north of Jones Road in DeSoto Sunday evening.

According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, at 6 p.m. 76-year-old Melbourne Presswood of Flower Mound, Texas, was driving south when he struck the road closed signs and ran through the barricades on U.S. 51 causing the vehicle to overturn. U.S. 51 is currently closed in that area due to a large sinkhole that has damaged most of the southbound lane of the highway.

Presswood was taken to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries. He was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and DUI.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Jackson County Ambulance Service, DeSoto Fire Department and Shelton’s Towing.
