Driver taken to hospital
A man was injured and rushed to the hospital after a dump truck overturned on Interstate 90 in Avon, Ohio. The incident occurred just before noon on Thursday.
According to a report from the Avon Police Department, the accident happened when a tandem axle dump truck traveling eastbound on I-90 experienced a blown-out tire on its right front passenger side. As a result, the truck veered off the road and flipped over.
The driver of the vehicle has been identified as Kyler Carter. Following the crash, emergency services transported him to Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital at Richard E. Jacobs Campus for medical treatment. Unfortunately, no further details regarding his condition were provided at this time.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the tire blowout and subsequent accident. It is unclear whether any other vehicles were involved or if there were any witnesses to provide additional information about what transpired leading up to the incident.
Interstate 90 remained open during rescue operations but experienced delays due to lane closures caused by emergency vehicles responding to the scene. Motorists in that area should exercise caution and be prepared for potential traffic congestion until authorities clear away all debris and complete their investigation.
Dump truck accidents can have serious consequences not only for those directly involved but also for other drivers sharing the roadways. It serves as an important reminder for everyone to remain vigilant while driving and maintain their vehicles properly to prevent such incidents from occurring.
