An accident report update released on Thursday, July 2nd, identified the pedestrian who died in an accident in the Granite City area of Illinois. The Madison County Coroner Stephen P. Nonn, named Ryan A. Stiles, 33, as the victim.
The crash that claimed the man’s life happened on Monday morning, June 29th, on Illinois 3 near St. Thomas Road. Officers with the Granite City Police Department received a call about the accident around 4:38 a.m., and at 5:38 a.m., the Coroner’s Investigator Christopher Hartman pronounced Stiles dead.
The coroner said that the autopsy showed that the victim died from blunt force trauma to the head, chest, and abdomen. The result of the toxicology test to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs is pending; there will be an update when the result is ready.
There is no information on what Stiles was doing on the roadway when he met his death, and there’s no detail on the driver involved. The investigation into the occurrence is ongoing, and the GCPD and the coroner’s office are collaborating on it.
Auto-pedestrian collisions are one of the leading causes of crash-related deaths. When the body collides with the hood of a car, it suffers severe traumatic injuries that are often fatal, and those who survive have life-altering wounds. The latter include loss of an organ, loss of a limb through amputation, or loss of mobility if the spinal cord is affected by accident.
