Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers responded around 1:20 p.m. on November 11 to a serious crash at the intersection of U.S. 36 and Ostrander Road in Delaware County. The incident involved three vehicles traveling in opposite directions.

Crash details

Investigators determined that a 64‑year‑old man, identified as Robert Shipley, was operating a 2018 Ford F‑150 westbound on U.S. 36. Shipley slowed his truck, and a 2015 Ford F‑350 struck the rear of his vehicle. The impact pushed the F‑150 left of the center line, where it was then hit on the passenger side by a 2016 Honda Pilot traveling eastbound.

Emergency personnel pronounced Shipley dead at the scene. The drivers of the Honda Pilot and the F‑350 were taken to local hospitals for treatment of injuries. The crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
