GREENE COUNTY, Ohio - Police now say dangerous driving is the cause of a crash in Greene County early Tuesday morning.

The accident occurred on State Route 72 between Centerville and Jamestown, near the intersection with Federal Road. Witnesses told investigators that a car swerved quickly in front of a semi, causing the semi to overturn.

Witnesses said the car was passing the truck left of the double yellow center line. The truck left the roadway and landed in a field along side of the road.

One lane was closed while crews cleaned up the wreckage of the accident.

The driver of the semi was not hurt, and police are still searching for the driver of the car.

What others are saying

  • As the wife of a truck driver, I urge all cars to be careful. Semis CANNOT stop on a dime. Most truck drivers have families at home that want them to return home safely.
