Troopers from the Marion Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigating a one vehicle fatal crash that occurred Friday at 2:00 am. The crash occurred on Marseilles-Galion Road just west of Conley Thompson Road in Marion County.

Christopher E. Huddle, age 20, of Morral, Ohio was driving a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer eastbound on Marseilles Galion Road. The preliminary investigation indicates that he drove off of the right side of the roadway, overturned and was ejected from the vehicle.
