A 78-year-old man was killed after a two-vehicle car crash in Cass County on Friday.
According to a press release from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, multiple calls reporting a two-vehicle crash near State Road 29 at the US 24 ramp onto the Tyson Exchange around 2 p.m. on Dec. 26.
According to reports, a 2017 Nissan Rogue driven by Kenneth Miller, 78, of Westpoint, had been heading westbound on the US 24 ramp to SR 29 when he allegedly failed to yield to a 2020 Ford Transit van that was heading southbound on SR 29.
