UNION TOWNSHIP — One man has died after a two-car crash in Union Township Sunday afternoon.

The Wilmington Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to the cross of Jamison Road and US-22 just outside of Washington Court House, according to OSHP.

Preliminary investigations show that a 2010 Dodge Charger driven by Jaedamae Geiger, 18, of Zanesville, was traveling northbound when she ran a stop sign.

Geiger’s car hit a 2010 Mazda 3 driven by David Pence Jr., 58, of Chillicothe. Geiger was traveling westbound on US-22 when he was hit.
