Milan Twp, OH (September 6, 2024) – A severe truck crash occurred just before 1:00 p.m. on Friday at Mason Rd and Hoover Rd in Milan Township. The collision, involving a Mack truck and a Volvo dump truck, resulted in serious injuries to both drivers.
According to authorities, the accident happened when a Mack truck traveling southbound on Hoover Rd, driven by a 57-year-old resident of Parma, failed to yield at a stop sign. This failure to yield resulted in a crash with an eastbound Volvo dump truck. The impact caused the Mack truck to hit a tree and the dump truck to overturn and strike a utility pole.
Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene. The driver of the Mack truck, who was wearing a seatbelt, sustained severe incapacitating injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance. The 26-year-old driver of the Volvo dump truck from Berlin Heights required extrication by fire personnel and also sustained serious injuries. He was subsequently transported to the hospital for treatment.
Firefighters were instrumental in the extrication efforts, ensuring both drivers were safely removed from their trucks. Police managed traffic and secured the scene, while utility crews worked to address the damage to the utility pole caused by the overturned dump truck.
