According to the Sheriff’s Office, Darrin Carroll, 42, of Union, was traveling eastbound when the right axles of his vehicle went off the side of the road. As Carroll brought the vehicle back on the roadway, his truck crossed the center line and collided with a vehicle driven by Amy Skiba, 45, of Union.
