Patrol Investigating Four Vehicle Crash on I-75.

The Bowling Green Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a four-vehicle crash that occurred in Perrysburg Township, Wood County. The crash occurred on Interstate 75 southbound near milepost 194 at 3:55 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 was traveling south on Interstate 75 in the right lane, failed to maintain an assured clear distance ahead, and struck a 2019 Chrysler Town and Country van. As a result of being struck, the Chrysler van traveled across Interstate 75 and struck a 2013 Lincoln four door, also traveling southbound on Interstate 75 in the left lane. The Chrysler van became disabled on the left
shoulder of Interstate 75 southbound and the Lincoln four door became disabled in the center lane of Interstate 75 southbound. The Dodge Ram, after striking the Chrysler van in the right lane, traveled off the right side of Interstate 75, striking a 2016 Peterbilt commercial tractor/trailer, attempting to merge onto Interstate 75 southbound. Both the Dodge Ram and the Peterbilt commercial traveled off the right side of Interstate 75, where the Dodge Ram overturned and came to final rest on it’s top, with the Peterbilt commercial partially on top of it.
The Dodge Ram was operated by Marv Kranick, 46 years of age, of Bradner, Ohio. Kranick sustained serious, yet non-life-threatening injuries, and was transported to St. Vincent’s Medical Center by Perrysburg EMS.
The Chrysler van was operated by Tracy Graf-Gilbert, 36 years of age, of Bowling Green, Ohio. The Lincoln four door was operated by Philip Heuker, 58 years of age, of Perrysburg, Ohio. The Peterbilt commercial was operated by Michael Carl, 70 years of age, of Erie, Pennsylvania. All three parties reported no injury.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention to the roadway ahead at all times.
