The Wooster Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash that occurred Saturday afternoon.

According to OSHP, around 3 p.m., a 74-year-old woman was driving a GMC eastbound on State Route 604 when she failed to yield from a stop sign after initially stopping. She pulled into the intersection and struck the driver’s side door of a Ford pickup truck traveling southbound on State Route 83.

After she hit the truck, both vehicles traveled off the Southeast portion of State Route 83 before coming to a stop in an open field, OSHP said.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene; the 53-year-old man driving the pickup truck was transported to Wooster Community Hospital with unknown injuries, according to OSHP.

According to OSHP, the pickup truck driver was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
