According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a grey Chevrolet Mailbu driven by Rupp, 30, was heading northbound on County Round 14, when a GMC C7500 driven by 36-year-old Hans Burkholder, who was hauling propane, failed to stop at a stop sign, the two vehicle collided. Both vehicles went of the road and the GMC overturned.
Burkholder was not injured in the crash, both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
