Jerauld was ejected from the vehicle after striking a tree.

He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Ripley County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators believe the crash took place Sunday night around 9:30 p.m. However, the vehicle was not observed off the roadway until the early morning hours on Monday.
