OHIO — One person was killed and another was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash in Union County on Friday afternoon, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP).
Troopers responded to the intersection of state Route 347 and Lunda Road around 4:30 p.m. for a reported crash.
According to OSHP, 55-year-old Michael Shroat, of Ostrander, was driving a Honda HR-V eastbound on Route 347 when a southbound 2010 Mazda CX-7 failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with the Honda’s driver-side door.

Shroat was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Mazda was transported to Union County Memorial Hospital in serious condition.
The crash remains under investigation.
