According to a release by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, a preliminary investigation into the incident showed that a 1999 silver Chevrolet S-10, driven by John Dickens, 62, of Laura, was southbound on State Route 49 when the vehicle stopped in traffic to make a turn onto the U.S. Route 127 on-ramp.
