MERCER COUNTY, OHIO (WLIO) - A Mercer County man driving a golf cart was killed when he was rear-ended on the road. Sheriff Jeff Grey says it happened just after 7:30 Thursday night on Philothea Road, just west of Township Line Road. Michael Hatcher, 69, of Fort Recovery, was driving a golf cart west when Caleb Wendel, 17 from Coldwater, did not see Hatcher ahead of him and struck the back of the golf cart. Hatcher was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The crash remains under investigation.
