NEWS JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Brown County coroner pronounced a Wilmington man dead at the scene following a one-vehicle crash Friday evening. The preliminary investigation suggests that the driver suffered a medical emergency while driving.
An autopsy will be performed to confirm the cause of death of David E. McKay, 59, of Wilmington, according to a news release issued by the Georgetown post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
McKay was operating a 1986 Chevy Allegro Motorhome and was headed southbound on U.S. 68 in Perry Township, Brown County. McKays motorhome traveled off the right side of the road striking a ditch and culvert before crossing Howard Road, the patrol said.
The motorhome then struck a guardrail on the south side of Howard Road and came to rest within the tree line.
The crash occurred about 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5.
The one-vehicle crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrols Georgetown post.
A 1970 Clinton-Massie graduate, McKay was a farmer.
According to his obituary, McKay was called "Super Dave" because he was the person to whom people came when they needed to have something welded, fixed or custom-made.
