A head-on collision yesterday afternoon in southeastern Wayne County claimed the life of a Stark County man. 72-year old Rand Luckner was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which took place on State Route 241, just west of Brewster. Authorities say the crash happened when a truck driven by a man from Tuscarawas County went left of center and struck Luckner’s vehicle. The driver of that truck, 32-year old Charles Samples, of Uhrichsville, fled the scene, but was arrested several hours later. Samples was then taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Highway Patrol says alcohol does appear to have been a factor in the crash.
