BROWN COUNTY, Ohio (WXIX) - A 19-year-old Bethel man is dead and two others are seriously hurt after an SUV hit a disabled vehicle in Brown County, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
It happened on Liming Van Thompson Road near Yankeetown Road in Clark Township just after 6 p.m. Sunday.
Troopers said their preliminary investigation determined a southbound 1999 GMC Sonoma pickup truck hit a trailer attached to a disabled 2007 Nissan Pathfinder van that was stopped in the road.
At the time, three men were actively trying to repair the disabled van.
The impact pushed the Pathfinder forward into them, troopers said.
One of the men, Shane M. Hull of Bethel, was pinned against a parked 2022 Ford F-150 pickup truck.
He was pronounced dead at Mount Orab Mercy Hospital.
The other two men working on the disabled van with Hull, another 19-year-old from Bethel and a 70-year-old man from Hamersville, were taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with serious injuries, troopers said.
The 65-year-old driver of the GMC pickup truck was not hurt, they added.
The crash remains under investigation.
