SUMMARY: Ranken County authorities have reported that a fatal crash earlier this year involved a driver who had a chemical found in cram in their system. The crash occurred on January 19th at Barnett Ben Circle in Old Fannon Road, resulting in the driver's death. The driver's blood specimen was submitted for toxicology analysis, leading to the county's decision to ban the use, sale, and possession of cram.
