Man found dead after crash into Champaign County creek

Sheriff’s deputies and fire EMS from North Lewisburg responded to the call. They found a 1995 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer that was travelling southeast on Middleburg-Plain City Road had crossed over the left side of the road, traveled off the road, through a field and came to rest in a creek.

When crews checked on the vehicle, an adult male occupant was found dead in the driver’s seat. The identity of the driver is being withheld until next of kin can be notified.

Sheriff’s deputies, detectives and the coroner’s investigators assisted at the scene.

There is no evidence of foul play, and the incident remains under investigation by the Champaign County Sheriff’s and Coroner’s offices.
