A Granville man died and a woman was injured in a single-vehicle rollover crash Thursday near Cedar Point.

Joel J. Rangel was identified as the man who died by La Salle County Coroner Rich Ploch in a news release sent Friday.

Ploch said authorities were called to North 23rd and East First roads near Cedar Point. There, a car overturned, and two occupants were ejected from the vehicle.
