One person is dead following a single vehicle crash in Taylor County.
Authorities received the report of the accident early Saturday morning and found two injured men.
Investigators say the vehicle involved was southbound when it left the roadway, entered a ditch, then re-entered the roadway and rolled before coming to arrest.
Thirty-six-year-old Nathan Burke was thrown during the crash and died due to his injuries.
The other occupant received medical treatment and was later placed into police custody on suspected drug-related charges.
A father and son are accused of using fake checks to buy luxury vehicles from a used car dealership in Madison.
Employees from the dealership called police about the pair after they came back to the dealership to buy their third vehicle in two days with checks.
When staff went to the bank to verify the checks, they learned the checks were not legitimate.
Police arrested the 33-year-old man initially, with the 18-year-old son taking off from the area in one of the vehicles.
The 18-year-old was taken into custody a bit later, and it's unclear what charges they could face.
