An early morning crash takes the life of a man from the Columbus area. Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves says emergency crews responded yesterday to a single vehicle crash. It happened east of Baxter Springs, off of Highway 166. Groves says 42-year-old Gabriel Gaither Gillmore was westbound when he crossed the centerline, went into a ditch, struck a culvert and rolled his pick-up.
He died from injuries sustained in the wreck.
