Police Believe Dennis Casady Hit and Killed by Semi-Truck in New Phialdelphia, OH Accident


New Philadelphia, OH — Last Friday afternoon, a local Dover man was accidentally hit and run over by a semi-truck in a New Philadelphia parking lot. Police ID’d the man as 64-year old Dennis Casady, saying that the accident took place at the Allstate Peterbilt off Stonecreek Road at about 1:30 p.m. last Friday, May 29, 2015.

Casady, who worked at Allstate Peterbilt, was apparently returning from a lunch break when he was accidentally hit by a semi-truck that was being brought in for service.

The driver, 52-year old Waterford resident Rick Guiler, told police that he was in the process of leaving the lot when he must have accidentally run over Casady, who was near the back of his semi.

The details as to what happened are still being investigated, but at least one sources speculated that Casady may have been taking a look at Guiler’s semi-truck, as Guiler had mentioned one of the door latches may need repairing.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
