SOMERS TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The state patrol is working to determine who went left of center in a head-on collision along U.S. 127 south of Camden that killed a man and injured two others, said Sgt. Dallas Root of the Dayton Post.
The man driving a Dodge Ram pickup, Logan W. West, 22, of Cincinnati, was killed on impact with a Nissan Pathfinder, according to the Journal-News.
