RANDOLPH COUNTY — A 56-year-old Red Bud man was killed and his 61-year-old female passenger critically injured in a two-car crash in Randolph County Sunday.

Kevin Lee Crites was driving his 2012 Nissan Altima  northbound on Prairie Road at about 1:30 p.m. when they failed to stop at a stop sign as they entered the intersection of Illinois Route 154. A 2012 Honda Crosstour driven by 32-year-old Martin S. Miller, of Baldwin, struck the side of the Nissan. Both cars were pushed out of the intersection by the impact.

Kevin Crites was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, Kathryn Crites, was taken to a local hospital and later flown to another hospital. Miller sustained noncritical injuries and was taken to a hospital via ambulance.

Both cars had to be towed from the scene.

An investigation by Illinois State Police’s Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is ongoing.
