LAKE COUNTY, Ohio (WJW) — A man was killed following an I-90 vehicle collision involving an Ohio Department of Transportation snow plow Monday afternoon, the department confirmed Tuesday.
The crash occurred in Leroy Township just after 3 p.m., causing slowdowns on the eastbound highway for hours.
The ODOT worker in the truck was clearing snow on the south side berm when the driver of a KIA reportedly went off of the roadway and hit the truck from behind, ending up in a grassy median, ODOT said in a statement.
The driver of the KIA, who ODOT identified as 56-year-old Allen Anderson of Cleveland, was initially taken to University Hospitals Tri-Point Medical Center for treatment from his injuries but was then transferred to Metrohealth Medical Center where he died.
Authorities said they don’t believe alcohol or drugs were involved in the crash. Anderson was not wearing a seatbelt, ODOT said.
This was the 15th crash involving a state snow plow this season in Ohio. Last winter, there were 22 trucks hit by drivers.
