A two-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 422 near state Route 528 in Parkman Township killed an Amish woman and seriously injured another Oct. 12, according to the Chardon post of the State Highway Patrol.
At approximately 7:39 a.m., a 2019 red Volvo commercial truck, driven by Daoud Husein, 31, of Dearborn, Mich., was traveling eastbound on Route 422 and a horse and buggy, operated by Lester Byler, 62, of Burton, was also traveling eastbound on Route 422, OSHP said in a press release.
The truck struck the rear of the buggy, ejecting Lester and passenger Mary A. Byler, also of Burton, who succumbed to her injuries on scene, OSHP said in the release.
“Lester Byler was flown to University Hospital Medical Center in Cleveland with serious injuries,” Lt. Larry Jones said in the release. “Husein was not injured and was wearing his safety belt. Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the crash and the crash remains under investigation at this time.”
Fire department/EMS personnel from Parkman, Troy, Middlefield and Community Care were on scene. The Ohio Department of Transportation was also on scene, along with deputies from the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office, the patrol said in the release.
