How they died
Vehic/Purs
Michael D. Mann was killed when his truck was hit by a van driven by Levi C. Gast, 23, who was being chased by police. Gast's father had reported him as suicidal at around 1:30 a.m. Mattoon officer Brad Gabel saw Gast's van, but Gast fled and Gabel terminated his chase when it became too dangerous. Arcola officer Inga Jones saw Gast's van at around 2:40 a.m. and tried to stop him, but another chase ensued. Mann pulled over as the chase approached Atwood. Monticello officer Norman Meeker, who said he was waiting to follow Jones when she passed, testified that Gast turned sharply and hit Mann's truck. Gast was charged with first-degree murder.
