Neither driver had to be taken to the hospital, Oliver Springs Police Chief Kenneth Morgan said. The drivers were identified as Larry Oliver and William Byrge. One was driving a 1997 Dodge van, and the other was driving a 1999 Toyota car.
Morgan said the vehicles appeared to be going in opposite directions when one crossed the center line. [Read more…]
