ST. MARYS - A 38-year-old St. Marys woman who was reportedly lying partially in a road northwest of St. Marys was killed early Sunday morningafter being struck by an SUV.
Sandra K. Willis was pronounced dead at the scene and taken to Miller's Funeral Home in St. Marys, according to a news release from the Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Landon R. Plattner, 17, St. Marys, was reportedly driving a black 2017 GMC Acadia north on Lambert Road north of U.S. 33 in Noble Township. At roughly 12:16 a.m., Plattner's SUV struck Willis, who was lying partially in the north lane of the road, the news release states.
