BUCYRUS, Ohio — A man from Millbury in Wood County died Wednesday in a two-vehicle crash on U.S. 23 in Wyandot County’s Crane Township.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Jacob T. Belsky, 29, was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee and crashed into a tractor-trailer that had slowed for traffic ahead.

Mr. Belsky failed to maintain a clear distance ahead, and struck the rear end of the trailer, Lt. Ty Skaggs said in a news release.

Temya Brown, 46, of Southfield, Mich., the truck driver, was not reported as injured. Mr. Belsky was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

Drugs and alcohol are not suspected factors, the patrol’s Bucyrus Post said. The crash remains under investigation.
