Five people were killed in a one-vehicle accident Monday morning on Interstate 70 about four miles west of Vandalia.

The five individuals who sustained fatal injuries were among 11 people in a church van. They were pronounced dead at the scene by Fayette County Coroner Bruce Bowen.

According to the Illinois State Police, the van, which was traveling back to Maryland from California, left the roadway for an unknown reason and rolled over several times before coming to rest.
