ST. GEORGE -- A Kanab man died early Tuesday after he was thrown from his vehicle when it rolled several times.
Killed was: Donald E. Chaplin, 79, of the Kanab/Leeds area.A press release by the Utah Highway Patrol said Chaplin was eight miles north of St. George on I-15 when the accident happened at 1:20 a.m. Tuesday.
Chaplin's Lincoln was headed south when it drifted off the roadway to the right. Chaplin tried to get the car back on the road, but he apparently overcorrected and the car skidded across the road, over the guardrail and into the median, the release said. Once there, it rolled several times.
