Chillicothe – On December 12, 2019, approximately 6:03 P.M., a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Bobby C. Waterbury, 79, of Chillicothe, Ohio, was traveling southbound on State Route 772. Mr. Michael W. Brown, 62, of Bainbridge, Ohio, operating a 1999, Suzuki Grand Vitara, also traveling south on SR 772, stopped to remove a dead deer from the road.  Mr. Waterbury attempted to slow to avoid colliding with other stopped traffic and Mr. Brown’s vehicle, but lost control and partially traveled off the right side of the road.  He struck a guardrail, then struck Mr. Brown as he was removing the deer, and then struck Mr. Brown’s vehicle.

Mr. Brown was transported to Hirsch’s Fruit Farm by Huntington Township EMS, then flown to OSU Hospital by MedFlight. Mr. Waterbury was treated at the scene and refused transport.
