PARKMAN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A 52-year-old man was killed in a three-vehicle crash that occurred in Geauga County Friday, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers said a 2011 Hyundai Sonata was traveling west on US 422 near state Route 282 in Parkman Township when it came upon a horse drawn buggy also traveling west on US 422.

The driver of the Sonata, identified as Michael Garrett, 52, of Burton, was pronounced dead at the scene.
