WINCHESTER, OH : Adams CountyWrong-way crash sends semi into river, killing driver on Wednesday, 24th July 2019

A wrong-way crash Wednesday night on U.S. Route 52 sent a semitrailer barreling over the center line and into the Ohio River, killing the driver in the process.

Ohio State Highway Patrol officers said the semi driver, 59-year-old Brent Markwell, had been driving westbound on 52 when an eastbound Honda Civic passed into his lane and struck his vehicle head-on.

Officers said the impact shunted the semi into the opposite lane, where it struck a third vehicle, off the road and into the water.

Markwell died on the scene. Four other people — the drivers of the other two vehicles and a pair of passengers — were injured.
