A Hidalgo man was killed in a weekend crash in Jasper County.

The man killed in the crash was 48-year-old Jerry D. Donaldson. 

State police report Donaldson's truck was eastbound on Illinois Route 33, a mile west of Wheeler, when the crash happened at 2:56am Sunday. The eastbound truck ran off the right side of the highway. Donaldson attempted to bring the truck back onto the roadway but apparently overcorrected. The truck overturned, ejecting Donaldson from the vehicle. The truck overturned at least three more times before coming to rest upright in a ditch on the north side of the highway.

Jasper County Coroner Jason Meyer pronounced Donaldson dead at the scene of the crash.
