LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Two people are dead as a result of a head-on collision in Highland County Tuesday afternoon.
Ohio State Highway Patrol said 62-year-old Christopher Easter was driving eastbound on S.R. 138 in Liberty Township at around noon Tuesday when a 2004 Chevy Silverado heading westbound crossed into his lane, striking his truck head-on. Easter was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Silverado, 74-year-old Danny O'Cull, was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital, but succumbed to his injuries on March 15, over one week after the crash, OSHP said.
S.R. 138 was closed during a preliminary investigation.
No charges have been filed at this time. OSHP said the crash remains under investigation.
