2 Injured in Fulton County Truck Accident
The drivers have been identified as Joy E. Herman, 41, of Bryan, who was seriously hurt, and Jesus Castillo, 65, of Sterling, Illinois, who had minor injuries.
Two people were injured in a head-on truck crash on US 20 in Chesterfield Township, Fulton County, on November 6, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The Late-Night Collision on US 20
The crash happened at about 11:04 p.m. near milepost 11. The driver, Joy E. Herman, 41, of Bryan, was in a 2014 Buick Enclave heading east. The other driver, Jesus Castillo, 65, of Sterling, Illinois, was in a 2018 Freightliner heading west. The Patrol said Herman crossed left of center, and Castillo's truck hit her SUV head on. Mercy Health Life Flight took Herman to a Toledo hospital, Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center, where she was treated for serious injuries. An ambulance brought Castillo to Fulton County Health Center, and he had minor injuries.
Where the Patrol Investigation Stands
The Toledo Post of the Patrol is investigating, and the crash remains under investigation. US 20 was closed for about four hours and has since reopened. Several agencies helped at the scene, including the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, Fulton County EMS, Mercy Life Flight, the Morenci Fire Department and KK Collision.
Police usually wait to release the names of the people involved until their families have been told. That is why names often come out a day or more later.
