What Happened

Ohio State Highway Patrol officials are investigating a crash that killed a woman at Route 303 in Shalersville, OH on January 27th, 2022. They say the incident happened when a garbage truck allegedly failed to yield at a stop sign during a turn. The truck is said to have collided with the rear of an eastbound Ford Edge occupied by 80-year-old Linda Baker. The impact forced the Ford from the road and caused it to overturn, causing Baker serious injuries she was hospitalized for. She died shortly after arriving.
