BLANCHESTER, Ohio — State troopers are investigating a crash that left one Blanchester man dead Saturday.

The two-vehicle crash happened on Columbus Street and Cherry Street in the village of Blanchester around 8:00 a.m.

According to investigators, 38-year-old Michael Conley of Blanchester was driving south on Columbus Street toward Cherry Street and State Route 28 when he was struck by Timothy Wyatt, 24, of Hamden, Ohio, who was traveling west on State Route 28.
