Authorities have released the name of the second person killed in a crash at Flora early Thursday morning.

State police say the other person killed was 27-year-old Jacob Russell Stewart of Olney. Stewart was driving a utility vehicle involved in the three-vehicle crash that occurred just before 6am on US Route 50 at Stanford Street.

Police say a semi driven by 65-year-old Walter Pollock of Sikeston, Missouri crossed the centerline on Route 50 and struck a minivan driven by 29-year-old Eric Bosel of Noble and then struck Stewart's utility vehicle. Bosel's minivan and Stewart's utility vehicle soon became engulfed in flames, killing both Bosel and Stewart. Pollock was injured and was treated at Clay County Hospital in Flora.

Pollock was cited for improper lane usage, DUI drugs, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
