The restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) will be the first of its kind implemented in Northwest Ohio at the intersection of U.S 30 and Thayer Road in Allen County. The new traffic pattern was needed after the Ohio Highway Patrol says that there was a concerning rise in traffic crashes in that area. 

In Van Wert County, US 30 has a few new features on its roadway. They’ve painted arrows in all four lanes at each intersection between Boroff Road and State Line Road. This is part of a collaborative effort between ODOT and the Ohio State Highway Patrol as a way to cut down on wrong way accidents. 

A Delphos man was struck and killed while working on his van along the side of U.S. 30 Sunday night.  According to the Van Wert post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the incident happened just before 10 pm between the Van Wert and Middle Point exits on U.S. 30.   44-year-old Jeffrey Brown was trying to make repairs to his van alongside the eastbound lane, when a semi driven by 66-year-old Glen Anderson of Indiana went into the berm, hitting both the van and Brown.  Brown was pronounced dead at the scene, the crash remains under investigation. 

A car rolls over and crashes along US 30 in Allen County today, sends several to the hospital for treatment.
