 Twente and a friend, Michael Virgil, 51, of Middletown were just
east of Middletown at 3:02 p.m., on their way to do some deer
hunting.
Twente was driving a pickup at 350th Avenue, one-quarter mile
north of 1300 Street in Corwin Township. Roadways were extremely
slick at that time. The vehicle apparently left the roadway and
rolled over. Twente was thrown from the vehicle.
Illinois State Police accident investigators postponed a
reconstruction of the crash, as conditions were not safe enough to
go out at that time, Logan County Sheriff's Department chief deputy
Rick Bacon said.
The Logan County Sheriff's Department, Logan County Paramedic
Association, Middletown Fire and Rescue, New Holland Rescue, and
Life Flight were called to the scene.
Twente was deemed not stable enough to transport by air and was
taken to ALMH by ambulance. He received resuscitating treatment en
route, but was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
Coroner Bob Thomas said that an autopsy was to be performed.
