(JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP) – A man was killed the morning of December 26 in a crash on State Route 15 just north of State Route 107 in Williams County which involved a pair of Pioneer residents.
The Ohio Highway Patrol says the accident happened at about 8:10am when a northbound 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck driven by 19-year-old Joshua Taylor went out of control and into the opposite lane of traffic.
It then collided with a southbound 2002 Cadillac Deville driven by 75-year-old Louis Harding.
The pickup came to rest on its passenger side following the impact.
Harding was pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers say he was not wearing a seatbelt.
Taylor was not injured and Troopers say he was buckled in.
It’s not known if the black ice that was reported on area roads that morning was a factor in the accident.
