VINTON COUNTY, Ohio — A Chillicothe man was killed after crashing his car over the weekend.
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.
Andrew Pettit, 25, Chillicothe, was southbound on State Route 677, driving a 2007 Ford F-150. Pettit failed to negotiate a curve, veering off the right side of the road and colliding with an embankment, troopers said.
Pettit was swiftly transported via Med-Flight to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Unfortunately, he was later pronounced deceased.
