CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – The state patrol continues investigating a two-vehicle crash from Wednesday night that sent two people to the hospital.
One of them was a Canton firefighter.
51-year-old city Fire Officer Christopher Burkhardt was seated in a department SUV with its overhead lights on.
He was blocking center- and left-lane traffic on Southbound I-77 just before the Route 62/Fulton exit at another accident scene.
His vehicle spun around after it was struck by a passenger car driven by 38-year-old Rachel Dawkins of Magnolia.
While Burkhardt’s injuries were minor, Dawkins suffered serious injuries as the vehicle flipped over and slid off the road.
