October 8, 2024, Press Release from the Wood County Sheriff's Office: On 10/07/2024 at 3:34 p.m., the Wood County Sheriff's Office was informed of a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of US 6 and Range Line Rd in Weston Township. The crash involved a 2005 Chevrolet pickup truck and a 2013 Volvo semi-tractor pulling a tanker trailer. The investigation showed that the Chevrolet pickup truck, operated by Jacob Kern, 31, of Deshler, was traveling south on Range Line Road and failed to stop at a stop sign. The pickup traveled onto US 6, where it struck the trailer of the semi tractor-trailer, operated by John Secord, 44, of Lasalle, MI, which was traveling eastbound. The pickup became lodged under the semi-trailer and became engulfed in flames.

A semi-driver had minor injuries after his truck was struck by a train in Hardin County around noon on Wednesday. According to the sheriff's deputies, the crash happened at the main street crossing in Mount Victory around noon today. A semi-truck driven by Richard Lavander of Ontario, Canada, attempted to drive around the crossbucks when he was struck by an eastbound train. Deputies say the force of the impact separated the semi-tractor from the trailer, and the train pushed the semi around a quarter of a mile.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says that Derrick Selhorst of Celina was seriously injured in a commercial vehicle crash around Dayton Tuesday morning.
