Andrew M. Stroud, 16, of Lewistown, was cited for failure to control relating to a non-injury crash Monday afternoon, May 1.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report he was operating an eastbound 2007 Chevrolet Malibu on U.S. Route 33 in Lakeview about 4:25 p.m.
He reportedly failed to negotiate a right-hand turn onto north Oak Street and went off the roadway, striking a northbound stop sign on Oak Street and U.S. 33, along with a utility pole’s guide wires and a culvert, coming to rest on the driver’s side.
Damage was heavy to the car, which was towed from the scene. The driver was wearing his seat belt.
ODOT was contacted regarding the stop sign, which was damaged and removed from the ground, and AES Ohio was contacted about the guide wires, deputies said.
• Deputies also responded about 10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 30, to a report of a minor crash involving a BMRT squad and a car in an alleyway in the area of 312 E. Buckeye St., Belle Center.
