UPDATE: A tragic crash in Clinton County has left a man dead after he was ejected from his vehicle on Monday evening. The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) confirmed that the incident occurred just after 7 p.m. on SR-73 near Green Township.
According to OSHP, 36-year-old James Brock was driving a 2007 Dodge Ram southeast on the highway when he lost control. The vehicle veered off the left side of the road and into a ditch, rolling over multiple times. Tragically, Brock was ejected from the truck and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger in the pickup truck sustained minor injuries and was treated on-site. OSHP noted that Brock was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, which is a critical factor in the ongoing investigation.
This harrowing incident underscores the dangers of not wearing seat belts and highlights the importance of road safety. The community is now mourning the loss of Brock, while authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
As this story develops, the OSHP urges drivers to adhere to safety regulations to prevent further tragedies on the roads. More updates will follow as information becomes available.
