Crashes
William T. Branscum, 51, of Sidney, was cited with failure to control after a two-vehicle crash involving a semitrailer on Sunday at 9 p.m.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Branscum had just entered Interstate 75 southbound from state Route 47, at exit 92, when he lost control of the Chevrolet Camaro he was driving. He crossed over both southbound lanes, went into the median barrier and then came back into the southbound lanes. A southbound semitrailer carrying potatoes swerved to avoid the Camaro but made contact with Branscum’s vehicle, causing his truck to overturn onto its side and the potatoes to spill out onto the road.
The semi was driven by Steve W. Horton, 32, of Delphos.
Branscum was transported by Sidney Fire to Wilson Health with minor injuries.
Horton was transported by Sidney Fire to Wilson and from there he was transported by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
I-75 was only shut down for short periods of time as tow trucks worked. OSP reported at least one lane was kept open most of the time.
