MILTON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WOIO) - A 75-year-old man died in a fatal crash Thursday in Wayne County.
The accident occurred on State Route 585, also known as Akron Road, according to a press release.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) said a 2015 Ford F-150 pickup struck a 2003 Ford F-550 pickup in a head on collision when the driver traveled left of center.
The driver of the Ford F-150, Thomas B. Cook, of Akron, died on scene due to his injuries, OSHP said.
That s according to the Wayne Metropolitan Housing Authority’s executive director.
“I just don’t ever recall a time we’ve been this short on housing units available for our program,” said Stan Popp, the longtime leader of the WMHA.
The organization has 420 units it owns around the county and funds just over 915 federal Section 8 vouchers that subsidize low-income renters in the private market.
There are no vacancies. The agency is paying all the vouchers it can with the funding available.
Those who receive vouchers have 60 days to use them with two possible 30-day extensions.
“More times this year than in any year I can remember, we have had people losing their voucher because it wasn’t utilized, because they just couldn’t find a place,” Popp said.
