Findlay Post investigating life threatening crash in Union Township

D & D Towing was stopped in the left lane on the northbound side of Interstate 75 to tow a vehicle from the scene with its flashing lights on.
A 2024 Honda CRV, driven by 69-year-old, John Scaccia from Dayton Ohio, was traveling northbound on Interstate 75 in the left lane. The 2024 Honda CRV struck the 2013 Ram tow truck in the rear, before coming to rest and caught on fire shortly after.

The right front passenger of the Honda CRV, 12-year-old Jessica Scaccia of Dayton Ohio, was transported to Blanchard Valley Hospital, and then to Lucas County Children’s Hospital with life threatening injuries. The driver and passenger of the Honda CRV were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. The 2013 Dodge tow truck was unoccupied at the time of the crash.
