An Overton County man who sustained severe injuries in a crash on Willow Grove Highway last week has died.

According to Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Marty Philpot and from the obituary information from Hall Funeral Home, Jessie Kinlow Sevier, 76, of Monroe, died Thursday, May 2 at University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, where he had been flown after the crash that occurred Monday, April 30.

The crash happened a few miles from Sevier’s home, also on Willow Grove Highway, and saw the truck strike a culvert before flipping several times and coming to a rest in the front yard of a residence next door to Free Communion Church. Sevier was reportedly ejected from the truck, a Chevrolet half-ton single-cab pickup, in the crash.

According to Philpot, DUI charges that were pending against Sevier at the time of the crash report was filed, will now be dismissed.
