During the morning of Sept. 30, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash involving one vehicle striking a tree near County Highway A and Jordan Avenue in the town of Ridgeville.

West of that curved intersection, officers located a black 2004 Ford Taurus with front-end damage that had been traveling west on County Highway A. The driver was transported by ambulance to a nearby medical facility. The driver later died on Oct. 12, possibly due to injuries from the crash.

The incident remains under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office. The name of the driver is being withheld pending notification of the family.
