LAWRENCE TWP. ‒ An 18-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash at 7:53 p.m. June 28 at the intersection of North Orchard Road and Northwood Avenue in Tuscarawas County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
Ridge Reichman of the New Philadelphia area was pronounced dead at Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital in Canton, where he was taken after the crash.
He was traveling north on Northwood in a 2021 Nissan Altima when he failed to yield from a stop sign and was struck on the left side by an eastbound 2019 Ram 1500 operated by Skylar Nelson, 27, of Bolivar, the patrol said. Reichman wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle, the patrol said.
Nelson and a passenger were not injured.
Alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation, the patrol said.
The patrol was assisted at the scene by Bolivar Fire/EMS, Dover EMS, Strasburg EMS, Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Office and Keith’s Towing.
