UPDATED: Both lanes of Ohio 2 were closed and traffic was diverted for three hours late Monday night after a serious crash between a Ford Explorer and a semi-truck.
The crash occurred at 11:45 p.m. about nine miles west of Port Clinton.
According to a news release from the Sandusky post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Explorer was driven west on Ohio 2 when it went left of center, striking the International model 8600 semi-truck. The Explorer then careened off the right side of the road and down into a ditch.
