BLOOMINGTON – Bloomington police report a Bloomington man died from injuries he suffered by an alleged drunk driver.
McLean County Coroner Kathy Yoder reports Dezel Dotts, 26, died Tuesday evening at OSF St. Joseph Medical Center.
According to a news release, preliminary autopsy reports indicate Dotts died from cerebral and cervical injuries after being hit by a car.
Police report Thomas Hall, 61, of Bloomington, allegedly hit Dotts on Saturday evening at Six Points Road and Juniper Lane.
Authorities say Hall allegedly fled from the scene and was later found walking near Four Seasons Road and Ross Drive.
This week, prosecutors charged Hall with two counts of aggravated DUI and one count of failure to report an accident.
According to our news partner, Heart of Illinois ABC, McLean County State’s Attorney Don Knapp said he anticipates his office will upgrade the charges.
Hall remains in the McLean County jail on a $200,000 bond, meaning he has to post $20,000 to be released.
