Two Car Injury Accident: Maple I-70 E On Ramp

A two car injury accident occurred in Zanesville Tuesday evening.

The call came in around 8:30PM tonight for a collision occurring on the on ramp to Interstate 70 eastbound from Maple Avenue. We spoke to Zanesville Police Department Patrolman Derek Shilling who described to us what happened.

"We had a gentleman coming southbound on Maple Avenue attempting to get on to the I-70 on ramp. So what he did is he didn’t get over in time another vehicle had stopped to let him over, and as that vehicle stopped, another car behind it ran into the rear."

One female was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital by Genesis Community Ambulance with non-life threatening injuries. One citation was issued for assured clear distance ahead. The I-70 on ramps from Maple and Commissioner were blocked to traffic for around 30 minutes. The Zanesville Police and Fire Departments both responded to the scene.
