Taylor man dies in rollover near Rockdale

A 31-year-old Taylor man died early Wednesday after he lost control of his vehicle and was ejected in Milam County, authorities said.

Jimmy John Jones was headed south on F.M. 908 near Rockdale around 5 a.m. when his sport utility vehicle left the road, a state Department of Public Safety official said. Jones overcorrected and skidded off the other side of the road and the vehicle flipped, the official said.

Jones, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. No one else was in the vehicle.
