Putnam man killed in car crash

A single-car crash claimed the life of a Putnam County man over the weekend, according to authorities.

Joseph Gary Roebuck, 35, had already died when deputies arrived at the crash scene on the 200 block of Little River Trail, Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said.

A passing motorist called 911 and reported the accident around 5 a.m. Saturday, but evidence at the scene revealed the crash had happened several hours earlier.

Sills said it was apparent that Roebuck’s 2008 Chevrolet Malibu had gone off the road and overturned at least two times, and he was ejected from the vehicle. No one else was in the vehicle with him.

The accident remains under investigation by Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
