UNION TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A Lake County man was killed Wednesday when his pickup truck crashed into a tractor-trailer in Fayette County in southwest Ohio, reports say.

The State Highway Patrol tells WCMH Channel 4 that Christopher Stinespring, 48, of Madison, died in the crash just after 4:30 p.m. on U.S. 62.

WBNS Channel 10 reports Stinespring was driving a 2013 GMC pickup truck northeast when he crossed the center line and crashed into a tractor-trailer traveling southwest. The crash closed the highway for about six hours, reports say.

Stinespring, who reportedly was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the tractor-trailer and a passenger suffered minor injuries, reports say.

Fayette County is about 180 miles southwest of Cleveland, between Columbus and Cincinnati.
