CHESTER TOWNSHIP  A two-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 250 resulted in the death of
one man and serious injuries to another; a third man fled the scene,
investigators say.

The crash occurred near Firestone Road at approximately 6:25 a.m. Monday,
according to a news release from the Wooster Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol.

A 2020 GMC van traveling east on Route 250 went left of center and struck a 2011
Ford truck traveling west, the patrol said.

After striking the Ford truck, the GMC van careened into a guardrail. Two of the
van's occupants were thrown from the vehicle.




VAN OCCUPANTS NOT WEARING SAFETY BELTS

Thomas R. Smith, 38, of Orwell was transported by New Pittsburg Fire Department
to Wooster Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead by hospital staff.

Zachary A. Stutzman, 33, of Warren, a passenger, was also ejected and
transported to the same hospital by New Pittsburg Fire, and later transferred to
Akron City Hospital with serious injuries. A third occupant had minor visible
injuries and fled the scene due to pending arrest warrants, the patrol said.



Safety belts were not in use by the occupants. A dispatcher said the patrol is
investigating who was driving the GMC van.

The Ford truck had two occupants, both with minor injuries. Neither was taken to
the hospital.
