Tractor-trailer overturns on ramp to turnpike

The Bowling Green Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a semi tractor-trailer rollover injury crash that occurred today (Aug. 18) at approximately 9:20 a.m. on the southbound ramp from Interstate 75 to the Ohio Turnpike.

A 2009 Volvo semi tractor-trailer combination, operated by Charles Boyd, 59, Detroit, was driving on the ramp from southbound I-75 to enter the toll gate for the turnpike (Interstate 80). It then veered off the left side of the roadway andoverturned.

The deceleration ramp from southbound I-75 to the turnpike toll gate will remain closed as the scene is cleared. To enter the turnpike from southbound I-75, traffic can continue on the ramp past the turnpike exit to the exit for state Route 795.

Traffic should exit at SR 795 and go east over the overpass to I-75 north to the turnpike.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by the Rossford Fire &Rescue Department, Ohio Department of Transportation, and Pat & Son Towing & Recovery.

The crash remains under investigation at this time.
