Greenville, OH — Police reported last Friday night that a wreck had taken place south of Greenville earlier that afternoon, leaving a teenager from New Madison with injuries. They said that 18-year old Rachel Remencus was hurt after her car was hit by an 18-wheeler along U.S. 36 in an accident.
This accident happened around 3:45 p.m. on Friday afternoon, May 8, 2015.
According to the reports, Remencus had been driving her Chevy Impala along U.S. 36 that afternoon, headed west. She was in between Highway 121 and U.S. 127 when her Chevy clipped the back end of an 18-wheeler truck that was headed in the opposite direction.
The accident left Remencus trapped in her car and she had to be rescued, then taken to a hospital. It’s not clear how bad her injuries were.
The truck driver, 51-year old Robert Alderton, told police that Remencus’ car had started to swerve into his lane on U.S. 36, so he tried to swerve and avoid a wreck — but she crashed into the back part of his trailer anyway. It’s not clear if that’s what actually happened, but that’s what the news reports seemed to imply.
More details might be released later.
