A Custar man was killed in a two-vehicle crash this morning in Milton Township, according to the Wood County Sheriff’s Office.
At 10:34 this morning, Wednesday, Aug. 18, the sheriff’s office received a 911 call reporting a two-vehicle injury crash at Custar Road and Mermill Road in Milton Township.
When deputies arrived on the scene, the two vehicles involved were both in the ditch on the west side of Custar Road, south of the intersection.
A Mack dump truck, driven by Thomas Goetz, of Oak Harbor, was southbound on Custar Road, when a Honda Accord, driven by Thomas Bergman, of Custar, was westbound on Mermill Road, and reportedly failed to stop at the posted stop sign and pulled into the path of the dump truck.
Bergman was deceased on the scene. Goetz was transported to the hospital for his injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
