A tan Buick Roadmaster was heading east on W. Third Street and “failed to maintain reasonable control of the vehicle.”

The car crossed over the center line, ran off the left side of the road, and hit a fence and a utility pole, according to the report.

King was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where he later died.

No one else was in the car at the time of the crash.
