MetroHeath Medical Center in Cleveland reports he is now listed in fair condition. He was listed in good condition yesterday morning.

A spokeswoman said she is hopeful he can overcome this “setback.”

According to the State Highway Patrol, Jason White, 18, was hit about 9:45 Monday morning near the intersection of Butternut Ridge and Indian Hollow roads in Carlisle Township.

He was struck by a snowplow owned by a private company, Plas Plowing, the State Highway Patrol said. First responders reported White had facial injuries.

First responders requested a LifeFlight helicopter, but weather prevented the helicopters from flying. A LifeCare ambulance requested and received approval to drive White directly to MetroHealth.
