BUCYRUS -- A 34-year-old Shelby man died Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle, weather-related crash in Crawford County, according to the Bucyrus Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers said a 2022 Freightliner driven by Matthew Ruth, 36, of Bucyrus was westbound on Remlinger Road (County Road 49) in Vernon Township, west of Baker Road.
Ruth slowed or came to a stop in the road while removing snow, according to the patrol.
A 2000 Ford Explorer, driven by Anthony Mahon of Shelby, also westbound, struck the rear of the Freightliner at 1:10 p.m., troopers said.
Mahon was transported to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The patrol's report doesn't indicate if Ruth was injured.
The patrol was assisted by Jefferson Township Fire and EMS and Lohr's Towing.
Troopers said the crash remains under investigation.
