FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Ohio — The Caledonia community is mourning the tragic loss of Cameron Lyon, 23, whose life was cut short following a two-vehicle crash on U.S. 33 in Fairfield County.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the collision happened at approximately 6:15 p.m. Sunday near U.S. 22 in Hocking Township. Cameron was traveling westbound on U.S. 33 in a 2025 Chevrolet Trax when his vehicle was struck by a 2016 GMC Terrain.
