Alvada, OH — There was a wreck between a semi-truck and a GMC pickup truck along U.S. 23 this past Monday, November 9, 2015 that resulted in the semi driver being ticketed and also injured. The injured man was believed to be Wayne Couch, 63, who is from nearby Alvada.
This past Monday afternoon, around 3:15 p.m., police reported that 32-year old Andrew Bormuth’s pickup truck was hit by Couch’s semi-truck at the intersection of U.S. 23 and Township Highway 108.
From the news reports, which are a little vague, it appears that Bormuth was trying to make a left turn from Highway 108 onto U.S. 23 in his pickup truck when he was hit by Couch’s semi-truck, which had been driving along U.S. 23.
Couch told the police that he tried to swerve to avoid Bormuth’s pickup, but failed and hit a guardrail, a utility pole, and then the guardrail on the opposite side of the road. Police said that Couch was injured and also cited for driving on the left side of the road within 100 feet of an intersection.
It’s not quite clear if Bormuth was injured or not.
