Two men were injured in a crash on Interstate 75 Monday evening that closed down all the northbound lanes for about four hours.
At approximately 6:10 p.m. troopers from the Bowling Green Ohio Highway Patrol Post responded to a three-vehicle injury crash on I-75 near milepost 189 in Perrysburg Township.
Upon arriving on the scene troopers learned that a GMC Yukon driven by David Hass, 21, of Bowling Green was traveling northbound in the right hand lane of I-75, with Richardo Ballez II, 25, of Sylvania, as his front seat passenger.
A semi truck driven by Leighton Stevens, 40, of Hopkins, Texas, was also northbound in the right hand lane when it rear-ended the Yukon. The Yukon went across the northbound lanes of I-75.
A Ford F-250 driven by Katelynne Hall, 19, of Haskins was in the center lane when it swerved to avoid striking both vehicles. All three vehicles came to final rest in the center median.
Haas and Ballez were flown by air ambulance to Saint Vincent’s Hospital in Toledo.. Stevens and Hall were not injured in the crash.
The northbound lanes of I-75 remained closed for approximately four hours. The crash remains under investigation and alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by the Ohio Department of Transportation and Middleton Township Fire Department.
