WOOD COUNTY, Ohio — A 78-year-old Luckey man was killed Friday morning when he was struck by a vehicle while walking along State Route 582 in Wood County, the sheriff's office said.
Raymond Froelich was walking along the road shortly after 8 a.m. when he was struck by a 2007 Chrysler minivan driven by Sarah Ayers, 21, according to the sheriff's report.
Ayers had been driving west on S.R. 582 when she lost control of the minivan and went off right side of the road, according to the report. While regaining control the vehicle, Ayers over-corrected and then drove off the road again, striking Froelich, according to the report.
