The Bowling Green Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a serious injury crash reported Sunday (June 21) around 11 p.m., on Interstate 75 near milepost 195 in Perrysburg Township.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a Cadillac CTS operated by Jason Plontz, 51, of Perrysburg, and a Ford Escape operated by Thomas Harris, 41, of Bolingbrook, Illinois, were traveling south on I-75 when the Cadillac struck the Ford at a high rate of speed. Both vehicles came to rest in the roadway.
Plontz and his passenger, Roy Poor, 43, of Maumee, were transported with non-life-threatening injuries to Toledo Hospital.
