Driver Cited with OVI in Linden Avenue Accident

The Zanesville Police Department says an accident on Linden Avenue looked a lot worse than it turned out to be. Captain Scott Comstock says 23-year-old Dakota Johnson of Norwich was driving north of Linden just north of Sheridan Street around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. Comstock says the Johnson struck a parked car, knocking it into the air and drove underneath it. The Captain says the driver then continued and rear-ended a pick-up truck which then bounced off a utility pole crushing the driver’s vehicle. Police say the driver only suffered minor injuries, but was charged with Failure to Control and Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence. The accident remains under investigation.
