On investigation, crews found that a Frieghtliner straight truck, driven by Lys-Allen Michel Theophile, 32, of Miramar, Florida, was traveling south on New Madison Coletown Road.
The sheriff’s office said that he failed to yield right-of-way after a stop sign and crashed into a Ford F-350 utility truck driven by Michael J. Stump, 45, of Union City, Indiana. The Freightliner then overturned off the road.
Theophile and a passenger in the Freightliner were taken to Wayne Healthcare for suspected minor injuries.
Stump, however, was trapped inside the utility truck, and had to be removed from the vehicle by rescue crews. Rescue crews took him to Phillipsburg to meet the Mobile Intensive Care Unit, which then took him to Miami Valley Hospital.
His condition is unknown, the sheriff’s office said.
Crews that responded to the scene include the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, Greenville Township Fire, Greenville Rescue and Union City Rescue.
The crash remains under investigation.
