During the investigation, it was revealed that a silver Toyota Camry, driven by 62-year-old Barry Head, was traveling northwest on SR 571.
Head was in the process of passing the vehicle in front of them, as another vehicle was traveling in the southeast lane.
He swerved to get back into his lane when he lost control of the vehicle and traveled off the right side of the road, hitting a mailbox and knocking over a utility pole.
Both Head and his passenger, 39-year-old Tara Bailey, were transported to Wayne HealthCare for minor injuries.
