NORTH RIDGEVILLE — One of the westbound lanes of the Ohio Turnpike was still closed at noon today following a collision between two trucks which occurred at about 2 a.m., according to the Ohio Highway Patrol.

No one was seriously injured in the crash, which tied up traffic all night near the 148 mile marker.

Crews repairing deep gouges in the right lane of the turnpike will remain at the crash site today for an unspecified time, according to a dispatcher.

About 240 gallons of fuel was cleaned from the road by the Lorain County Hazmat Team.

The crash occurred when a 2009 Freightliner hauling coal attempted to pass a 2004 Volvo International carrying steel pipes.

The Freightliner driven by Michael W. Applegate, 30, of Muncy, Pa., was heavily damaged on its right front and the Volvo International was heavily damaged on the left rear portion of the trailer bed.

Applegate was treated for injuries at the scene while Ljubco Taskovski, cq 57, of Aventura, Fla. complained of back pain and was taken to EMH Regional Medical Center.
