Crews responded to reports of a one-vehicle fatal crash around 11:37 p.m. on Ohio 235 near mile post 13.

Scott was driving a 2009 Ford Focus on Ohio 235 and swerved to avoid hitting an animal, lost control of his car, ran off the roadway and hit a tree, the patrol said.

The patrol was assisted at the scene by the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office.
