FAYETTE COUNTY, Ohio — The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle crash along Route 62 at the intersection of Route 753 on Monday afternoon. The call came in around 2:30 p.m.
According to the sheriff’s office, Draydon L. Moore, 20, of Washington Court House, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 south on US 62 and lost control, colliding with the rear of a 2017 Dodge Ram driven by Donald M. Stevens, 54, of Washington Court House.
