SUGAR CREEK TWP.: An Ashtabula man died following an accident involving two trucks at 4:12 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. Route 30 just east of state Route 94 in Wayne County.
Richard M. Thompson Jr., 46, was taken to Affinity Hospital where he later died, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
Thompson was traveling westbound in a 2015 Freightliner when he drove across the grassy median and collided head-on with an eastbound 2005 Western Star driven by Paul E. Cline of South Charleston, Ohio, the patrol said.
Cline was taken to Aultman Hospital in Canton for his injuries.
Route 30 eastbound was closed for about three and a half hours.
The crash remains under investigation.
