Subject: Fatal Crash

The Mansfield Division of Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred
earlier today at 17:37 PM, at the intersection of S. Main Street and W. 1st St.
The crash involved a 2016 Freightliner Tractor with attached trailer which was
traveling southbound on S. Main St and a single male operating a bicycle
which was traveling eastbound on W 1st St. Preliminary investigation indicates
the bicycle traveled through a red light and into the path of the tractor trailer
which then struck the bicycle and its operator.
The operator of the bicycle, a 29 year-old male, was transported to a local
hospital by the Mansfield Fire Department where he succumbed to his
injuries. The driver of the tractor trailer, a 48 year-old male, suffered no
injuries but was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. A Crash
Reconstructionist from the Mansfield Police Traffic Section responded on
scene, assisted by the Mansfield Police Department’s Un-manned Aerial
System (UAS/DRONE) and the Commercial Motor Vehicle Unit of the Ohio
State Highway Patrol.
Additional information may be released at a later date. We ask that anyone
with information related to the crash contact Sgt. Lumadue of the Mansfield
Police Department Traffic Section at 419-755-9738.
