RAY COUNTY, MO – An alleged drunk driver has been charged in connection with a fatal wreck that occurred in Ray County early Saturday morning, KSHB reports.
The crash happened on Brady Creek Road east of Southpoint Drive at about 12:45 a.m. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the driver of a Ford Fusion ran off the roadway and the vehicle overturned.
