OREGON, OH (Press Release) - The Ohio State Highway Patrol is currently investigating an injury traffic crash that involved an on-duty Northwood Police Officer.
The crash occurred on October 26, 2012 at approximately 11:45 P.M. on Interstate 280 southbound, south of Navarre Avenue in the City of Oregon.
The Northwood officer was assisting the Oregon Police Department with traffic control for an unrelated traffic crash. The Northwood Officer was stationary in the right lane of Interstate 280 southbound with his emergency lights activated. Melody Bower, 33, was southbound on Interstate 280 in the right lane when she struck the patrol car in the rear.
