COLLISION IN AUBURN RESULTS IN FATALITY

On July 16, at approximately 8:21 p.m., the Logan County Sheriff's Office responded to US 68 East at the Auburn railroad crossing in reference to a two-vehicle injury collision. Preliminary investigation revealed a westbound 2021 Chrysler 200, operated by Alexa Stearsman, 42, of Russellville, struck the rear of a tractor trailer operated by Ihor Handzyuk, 56, of Philadelphia, Penn. Handzyuk was stopped behind an uninvolved hazardous material tanker that was required to stop for all rail crossings.
