A 61-year-old Wauseon man died Wednesday morning after his car collided with a pickup truck on a rural stretch of road in Fulton County, according to state troopers. Gregory Garrow was behind the wheel of a 2016 BMW 328i when the crash happened on County Road D near County Road 13 in Clinton Township, and he did not survive.
Crash Happened Before Dawn
The crash occurred at approximately 6:19 a.m. Wednesday, while it was still dark, as reported by The Village Reporter. Garrow was driving eastbound on County Road D when he attempted to pass a semi-truck, and his BMW struck a westbound 2014 GMC Sierra driven by Thomas Berman Jr., 35, of Sylvania, according to the same outlet's account of the Ohio State Highway Patrol's findings.
Garrow died at the scene, the publication's report states. Berman was transported to Fulton County Health Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Both men were wearing their safety belts at the time of the crash, per the same account.
Toledo Post Investigating, Multiple Agencies Responded
