The Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to a crash involving a semi and a car on State Route 7 north of Gallipolis on April 19. According to the troopers, a semi-tractor trailer and a 2019 Honda car had collided head-on. The southbound semi went off the left side of the roadway and hit an occupied house along the Ohio River. The northbound Honda came to rest off the right side of the roadway.
The driver of the Honda was identified as 23-year-old Elijah Matney of Ironton. Matney sustained serious injuries and was taken from the scene by the Gallia County EMS to a nearby landing zone where Med Flight flew him to Cabell Huntington Hospital. The driver of the semi was identified as 53-year-old Billy Sturm of Fleming, who was uninjured.
The owners of the residence were home at the time of the crash. Tammy Hayburn was asleep in her bedroom when the semi struck the house, pushing her down over the hill towards The Ohio River. She sustained only minor injuries while her boyfriend was uninjured while fixing breakfast in the kitchen just feet away.
The crash remains under investigation, and charges are pending on Matney for driving left of center.
