A two-vehicle crash claimed the life of an Ostrander man late this past Friday in Union County.

According to a release from the Marysville Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, 55-year-old Michael L. Shroat was driving east on State Route 347 when 39-year-old Matthew W. Kauser, of Marysville, failed to stop for a stop sign while driving south on Lunda Road.

The collision forced Shroat’s vehicle off the south edge of 347 where it struck a tree.

Shroat was pronounced dead at the scene.

Kauser was transported to Union County Memorial Hospital in serious condition.

The crash remains under investigation.
