Sunday night, 78-year-old Alva Barnes, of Weston, was pronounced dead after a truck being towed overturned in a ditch at the intersection of Ohio Route 281 and Solether Road.

The Wood County Sheriff’s office says that Barnes was on the passenger side of a pickup truck that was being towed with a tow strap by another pick up driven by Timothy Workman of Fostoria. Traveling at a slow speed, the truck turned north onto Solether Road from eastbound Route 281. That’s when the truck veered off the right side of the road, ending up in a ditch and overturned. Barnes was found trapped underneath the overturned vehicle after being partially ejected. The release says they do not suspect impairment to cause the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
