HARRISVILLE An early morning crash along U.S. 250 in Short Creek Township left two people injured Wednesday.
Trooper Jeremy Grubb of the Ohio State Highway Patrol Steubenville Post said the crash occurred around 5:30 a.m. when a driver in a white Dodge Ram truck clipped another vehicle as it attempted to pass, causing both vehicles to wreck into a ditch.
Matthew Johnson of Scio, the driver of the truck, attempted to pass a semi-truck driven by Ralph Sproull of Hopedale in a no passing zone; however, a vehicle began approaching in the oncoming lane. When Johnson attempted to complete the pass, he clipped the front bumper of the semi-truck causing both vehicles to go off the right side of the roadway into a ditch, Grubb said.

A 1993 graduate of Carrollton High School and Marine Corps veteran, Grubb studied criminal justice at Kent State University and joined the highway patrol in 2002, serving previously at its Delaware and New Philadelphia posts.
