ST. CLAIRSVILLE, OHIO -- The man seriously injured in a rollover crash on Interstate 70 in Belmont County yesterday is an Ohio Highway Patrolman from Columbus.
According to OHP, 30-year-old Martin Schmalzried is recovering at a local hospital after suffering several broken bones and lacerations.
OHP said two witnesses of the crash called last night to report that a second vehicle hauling a U-Haul trailer was involved and responsible for the crash.
Schmalzreid was eastbound on I-70 near Exit 213 when he lost control of his car.
After a dramatic roll-over, he ended up trapped in the car, upside-down, and on the wrong side of the highway, blocking all westbound traffic.
