WOOD COUNTY | Fostoria Woman, 24, Dies After SUV Strikes Semi at Sugar Ridge and Dunbridge Roads

MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A Fostoria woman died Thursday night after the SUV she was driving failed to stop at a Wood County intersection, struck a semi-truck and became trapped underneath it, the Wood County Sheriff’s Office said.

The sheriff’s office said deputies responded at 8:57 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, to the crash at Sugar Ridge Road and Dunbridge Road, north of Bowling Green. Cheyenne Rock, 24, of Fostoria, was driving a white 2015 Ford Edge west on Sugar Ridge Road, according to a sheriff’s office news release reported by 106.3 The Fox, WTOL 11 and the Sentinel-Tribune.

The preliminary investigation found that the Ford Edge did not stop at a stop sign at Dunbridge Road, the sheriff’s office said. A white 2019 International semi-tractor pulling a van trailer, driven by a 61-year-old rural Fostoria resident, was traveling north on Dunbridge Road and had the right of way through the intersection.

The SUV struck the semi and became trapped underneath the trailer, according to the release. Both vehicles continued north on Dunbridge Road and came to rest partly on the roadway and in a field.

Rock was freed from the Ford Edge and flown by Mercy Life Flight to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, where she later died, the sheriff’s office said.

The sheriff’s office said both drivers were wearing seat belts and impairment does not appear to be a factor. Middleton Township Fire and EMS, Bowling Green Fire and EMS, Perrysburg Township Fire, Mercy Life Flight and Ray’s Towing assisted at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.

The Fostoria Free Press extends its condolences to Rock’s family and friends.
