Driver dies in crash, possibly caused by seizures

A Crane man may have suffered a seizure before the Springfield auto crash in which he died Sunday night.

Jess J. Folk, 49, died in the 2700 block of South Luster Avenue, police said.

He was alone in a van that accelerated and veered to the left, striking a large tree in a yard at about 8:21 p.m. Family members said Folk had a history of seizures and may have had one before the crash, police said.
