Effie Carder, 26, of Corry, Pennsylvania, died at the scene of the crash in Erie County.
OXFORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A 26-year-old woman was killed and four other people were seriously injured, including three young children, after they were struck by a semi on the Ohio Turnpike, according to the State Highway Patrol.
A news release from the patrol says Effie Carder of Corry, Pennsylvania, died at the scene of the crash in Erie County. The crash occurred at about 7:32 p.m. Friday near milepost 116.5 on the turnpike, the patrol says. A 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Gilbert Jorden Jr., 30, of Corry, went off the right side of the turnpike and struck a guardrail, ending up disabled in the center lane of the highway.
Jorden Jr., Carder, and three passengers — a 4-year-old girl, 3-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl — got out of the Jeep in an attempt to get off the turnpike, but the Jeep and all five passengers were struck by a 2023 Freightliner driven by a 27-year-old resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the patrol says.
Jorden and the children were seriously injured and were taken to Firelands Regional Medical Center in Sandusky.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
