Fowler had attempted to avoid contact by swerving towards the shoulder, but was unable to avoid the crash. After the head on collision, Fowler’s vehicle, a 2012 Dodge pickup, then struck a CMP pole, causing the pole to crack in half, however remained upright. Travel was limited to one lane on Bath Rd. for approximately 45 minutes.
