William Dixon, 44, of Bellefontaine, was transported to the OSU Wexner Medical Center by CareFlight helicopter for treatment of non-life threatening injuries following a crash Monday afternoon.
Troopers of the Marysville Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are currently investigating the injury crash involving Dixon’s SUV and a semi tractor-trailer on U.S. Route 33 in Jefferson Township.
Dixon reportedly was operating a northwestbound 2021 Honda Pilot about 4:05 p.m. when he struck the rear of a northwestbound 2016 Freightliner Cascadia operated by Mahad Isse, 37 of Columbus.
Isse was treated at the scene by Bellefontaine EMS.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol also was assisted at the scene by Tri- Valley Fire and EMS, the Ohio Department of Transportation and Hogan’s Towing.
Alcohol is not suspected as a factor in the crash. The occupants of both vehicles were found to be wearing their seat belts, troopers said.
The patrol remind motorists to maintain a safe distance between vehicles while traveling.
