One person was killed in a crash Friday morning in Richland County.

Richard W. Rosche of West Salem was fatally injured in the crash that occurred at 9:28am on Illinois Route 130 at Outerbean Road, about five miles south of Olney.

State police say a semi driven by Larry W. Pitts of Olney was northbound on Route 130 and attempted to turn left onto Outerbean Road. The 45-year-old Rosche was southbound on Route 130 and collided with Pitts' semi.

Richland County Coroner Randy Kistler pronounced Rosche dead at the scene. Pitts was not reported injured in the crash.

Pitts was cited for improper lane usage.
