Coal City man killed in crash

The Grundy County Coroner’s office and the Grundy County Sheriff Department are investigating a single vehicle crash that claimed the life of a Coal City man identified as  52-year-old Paul L. Ruffatti.

 

Preliminary investigation indicates  Ruffatti’s pickup truck was southbound on Jugtown Road late Saturday or early Sunday when for an unknown reason it left the roadway and traveled close to 400 feet then corrected and went thru brush and timber and into Beaver Lake.  Ruffatti was found in the drivers seat of the truck. 

 

The incident remains under investigation by both agencies and an examination will take place today, Monday, April 2. 

 

Coroner Callahan states if anyone was with Ruffatti Saturday evening or early Sunday to call his office at 815-942-3792 with any information.
