Local Man Killed In Semi Crash In Ohio

A local truck driver is dead after he was involved in a crash involving two tractor-trailers in Ohio that happened on Friday morning, according to a story in the Toledo Blade.

Georgi Belchev, 54, of Franksville, was killed on the Ohio State Turnpike 280 after the semi he was driving crashed into another semi.

According to the story:

After the collision, Mr. Belchev's rig jackknifed and overturned across the roadway, blocking all three eastbound lanes. An Ohio Turnpike Commission sport utility vehicle hit the wreckage after its driver, Alan Durliat, 50, of Whitehouse, braked approaching the scene but lost control on fluid that had spilled from the overturned truck, patrol Sgt. Robert Sellers said.

Durliat and another driver were treated for injuries that were non-life threatening.
