CAMDEN TWP. — A 16-year-old boy from Wakeman was seriously hurt in an accident this morning in Camden Township.

The teen is now at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, where he is unconscious, but his injuries aren’t life-threatening, according to Trooper Francway from the State Highway Patrol.

Francway said the teen was driving a 1998 Ford Explorer southbound on Baird Road about 7:40 a.m. in heavy fog when he failed to see the stop sign at state Route 20. He hit the brakes, but it was too late, and he skidded into the intersection, colliding with a Ford F700 dumptruck.

The driver of the dump truck, Duane Jesse of Wellington, was initially trapped in his vehicle because it was on its side, but was not seriously hurt. He was taken to Allen hospital in Oberlin, where he was treated and released.

The intersection was shut down for about an hour and a half while crews responded, Francway said.
