Patrick S. Ranes, 47, of Lakeview, was checked at the scene of a crash Tuesday afternoon by Indian Lake EMS, but did not report any injuries and was not transported.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report he was operating a southbound sport utility vehicle in the 14000 block of State Route 235 in Stokes Township about 3:50 p.m. when he went off the right side of the road and struck a telephone pole. The vehicle then came to rest in a wooded area on the north side of the road.
Damage was heavy to the SUV, which was towed from the scene. The driver was cited for failure to control and was wearing his seat belt.
