2 Killed in Failure to Yield Crash on County Road 4

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says failure to yield is a substantial factor in most fatal and serious
injury crashes handled by Troopers at the Defiance Post. One of those crashes happened on the
afternoon of June 4, 2022. The driver of a tan car stopped at the stop sign at US-20, and when he pulled
away, he was hit by a 16-year-old driver in a pickup truck who was not required to stop. The crash
forced both vehicles off the side of the road. The teen driver was wearing his seat belt and sustained
minor injuries. The driver and the front passenger in the car were both killed. No charges were filed.

Speed a Factor in Crashes on Interstate 75

On April 3, 2022, a southbound driver was traveling over 100 MPH
and crashed into the back of a pickup truck near mile post 173. The
impact forced the truck through the median into the northbound
lanes. The truck then hit an oncoming Jeep, which hit a guardrail
and caught on fire. The driver of the pickup and a passenger in
the Jeep were both killed. There were multiple serious and minor
injuries sustained by others in this crash. The at-fault driver was
found to be impaired by alcohol and marijuana at the time of the
crash. He was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide.
An 18-year-old driver lost control on the wet roadway while

entering I-75 southbound from State Route 795 on March 23,
2022. The teen driver hit another southbound vehicle and
overturned in the median. After being hit, the 2nd vehicle hit a
3rd vehicle. Each driver sustained minor injuries. This crash
was the result of the teen driver, who was operating his
vehicle too fast for the conditions. He was cited for failure
to control.
