ROLL OVER CRASH AT 113 & 58

South Amherst – A collision between two pickup trucks sent both drivers to the hospital and left one truck on its roof.


Trooper Lance Deshuk of the Ohio State Patrol said the crash is still under investigation to determine which truck ran a red light. When the two trucks collided in the intersection the physical evidence shows that 37 year old Ryan Harding was traveling east on 113 in a 2003 red F150 when he collided with a 1999 Chevy 1500 that was traveling southbound on 58. “At this point it is not clear what happened in the intersection as far as who ran a red light but the Chevy struck the driver’s side rear of the F150 causing it to spin and roll over.”


The F150 was thrown approximately 50 feet before hitting the ground where it slid before coming to rest in front of the Timbers Bar on 113.


Both drivers were treated at the scene by LifeCare Paramedics and South Amherst Firefighters before being transported to Amherst Hospital, both with non-life threatening injuries.


Deshuk said he believes alcohol played a part in the early morning crash but until lab results come back no citations have been issued.
