Semi Runs Red Light, Causes Crash at Ashland Intersection
Ashland, OH – A semi-truck ran a red light at a busy Ashland intersection Tuesday morning, colliding with a car and injuring a passenger, according to Ashland Police Division crash report.
The crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of the I-71 on/off ramp and U.S. Route 250. Ashland Police Division officers, along with Ashland Fire Department & EMS, responded to the scene.
Police say David Wolske, 61, of Frazeysburg, Ohio, was driving a 2024 Peterbilt semi eastbound on U.S. Route 250 when he failed to stop for a red light. His truck struck a blue 2022 Hyundai Elantra, driven by Andrew Miller, 21, of Lorain, Ohio, as Miller attempted to turn left onto the I-71 on-ramp.
Neither Wolske nor Miller reported injuries, but Miller’s passenger, Elizabeth Hernandez, 20, of Lorain, was hurt in the crash. Fire crews had to cut the door off the Hyundai Elantra to safely remove Hernandez from the vehicle. She was transported by Ashland EMS to Ohio Health Mansfield with non-life-threatening injuries.
The accident remains under investigation.
