Tractor-trailer hit by bullet on Ohio turnpike

CLYDE, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio State Highway Patrol says a tractor-trailer was hit by a bullet as it was driven along the Ohio Turnpike in the northwest part of the state.

Police say the driver thought he had blown a tire when the tractor-trailer was hit about 9 p.m. Friday. But when he stopped at a service plaza, a small-caliber bullet was found in the truck’s passenger door. Investigators don’t know what type of gun was used.

Authorities say the driver and a passenger were not injured.

The truck was traveling east near mile post 94 in Sandusky County. The driver tells investigators road rage was not involved.

The Highway Patrol and Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office are investigating.
