Canton man killed in 3-vehicle crash in Harrison County
BOWERSTON ‒ A Canton man was killed in a three-vehicle accident on state Route 151 at 3:27 p.m. June 27 in Monroe Township in Harrison County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said. Charles Oliver Jr., 55, was a passenger in a Chevrolet Suburban that was struck by a semi-truck. The Steubenville patrol post said a westbound GMC Yukon XL driven by Carolyn Sanderlin, 25, of Minerva was towing a utility trailer and being followed by the Chevrolet Suburban driven by Randy Reed Jr., 38, of Minerva. The driver of the Yukon wasn't in control and swerved across the centerline and off the left side of the roadway, the patrol said. An eastbound Peterbuilt semi-truck with a crane loaded on a flatbed trailer and driven by Thomas Kirkland, 46, of Marion Center, Pennsylvania, veered to avoid the Yukon but hit the left side of the Yukon's trailer. The semi-truck also sideswiped a concrete bridge parapet wall and jackknifed sideways across both lanes while being pushed into the Suburban, the patrol said. The impact caused the semi to catch fire and burn, the patrol said. All the individuals involved appeared to be using seat belts, the patrol said. A news release didn't state whether the others involved in the accident were injured and the patrol couldn't be reached for comment. The crash, which took place two miles west of Bowerston, remains under investigation. Route 151 is closed between U.S. Route 250 and Bowerston because the accident and fire caused significant damage to the pavement, the Ohio Department of Transportation said. The road will remain closed indefinitely while extensive repair work is completed. The detour involves state Route 646 and Route 250.
