This morning at approximately 3:40 a.m. the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was called to 5600 Hunter Road on a single vehicle traffic crash. When deputies and the Traffic Division arrived on scene, they found the driver of the older model passenger vehicle dead from the injuries he sustained in the crash. The initial investigation shows that the vehicle left the roadway and overturned. Speed and alcohol may have been a factor.

No name will be released until the next of kin can be notified. The investigation is on-going and being handled by Traffic Investigator, Sergeant Mark Kimsey.
