DELAWARE COUNTY — A Bellefontaine man died Monday morning when the tractor-trailer he was driving crashed and overturned into the front yard of a residence in Delaware County.
Glen G. Buettner, 68, was carrying a load of eggs westbound in a 2007 Freightliner semi on State Route 37 east of Brindle Road in rural Delaware when he failed to negotiate a curve, traveled off the roadway and overturned onto its right side, and struck a utility pole.
The crash damaged power lines in front of the house, and first responders had to first shut off power before caring for the driver.
Troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol report he was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Drugs or alcohol are not a suspected factor.
