The Ohio State Highway Patrol New Philadelphia Post is investigating a two-vehicle crash that left one person deceased.
On November 2nd around 11:30 am, a 2002 Ford Econoline Van and a 2019 Peterbuilt Truck were both traveling eastbound on SR39. The van began to slow to make a left turn onto Shetler Road, when it was rear ended by the truck.
The van driver was ejected from his vehicle and was pronounced dead on scene.
Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by the Sugarcreek Police Office, Sugarcreek Fire-Rescue, Keith’s Towing and Jim’s Towing. The Tuscarawas County Coroner’s Office was also on scene.
The crash will remain under investigation.
