The Kane County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a single-vehicle crash that killed a St. Charles man Wednesday on Route 47 near the intersection of Rowe Road in unincorporated Blackberry Township.
The man has been identified as Mark Detoni, 54, of the 39W700 block of Gunpowder Lane in unincorporated St. Charles.
According to the Sheriff's Office initial investigation, a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban driven by Detoni was traveling south on Route 47 at a high rate of speed. The vehicle crossed the center line of the road and onto the northbound shoulder of the roadway and the back onto the roadway.
The vehicle began to roll and the driver was ejected from the Suburban, investigators said.
Detoni, the sole occupant, was transported to Delnor Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
Route 47 was closed between Rowe Road and Kenmar Drive for approximately two hours Wednesday.
Investigators have not determined if drugs or alcohol played a role in this crash and it does not appear the driver was wearing a seatbelt.
