Route 62 reopens after truck mishap

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

GREEN — U.S. Route 62, just south of state Route 165 (West South Range Road), was reopened at about 7:30 p.m. this evening after being closed for more than five hours by a loaded semi-tractor trailer that crashed into the ditch about 2 p.m.

It took that much time to unload the truck and get it out of the ditch, said the Canfield post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, which investigated the incident.

The crash site is between West Middletown Road on the north, West Pine Lake Road on the south, state Route 45 on the west, and Beaver Creek Road on the east.
