Driver killed in Logan County accident

A man was killed in a single-vehicle accident early Thursday morning.

The Logan County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a location on US 79 South about 2:15 a.m. and found an overturned pickup.

Investigation determined 46-year old Richard Jeremy Moats of Alvaton had been driving the pickup northbound when for unknown reasons he left the right shoulder of the road and over-corrected. He then crossed both lanes of travel, went off the road and overturned multiple times before coming to rest against a tree.

Moats was pronounced dead at the scene by the Logan County Coroner’s Office and identified by Coroner Mary Givens.
