VINTON COUNTY, Ohio — A Chillicothe man was killed after crashing his car.
Troopers from the Jackson Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to a tragic single-vehicle fatal crash. The incident unfolded on State Route 677 just north of milepost three in Elk Township, Vinton County, at approximately 11:13 PM.
Andrew Pettit, 25, Chillicothe, Ohio, was southbound on State Route 677, driving a 2007 Ford F-150. Regrettably, Mr. Pettit failed to negotiate a curve, veering off the right side of the road and colliding with an embankment, troopers said.
Following the crash, Pettit was swiftly transported via Med-Flight to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Unfortunately, he was later pronounced deceased at the medical center.
