A Life-Changing Truck Crash
JP Menster was a dump truck driver, who had built a career working for local quarries in the Lima, OH area. On July 8, while traveling on SR-33, a tractor-trailer exiting I-75 onto the state route, pulled out in front of JP, leaving him no time to stop. Knowing that he was left with no choice but to collide with the semi, JP made a split-second decision to strike the trailer instead of the cab.
This decision almost certainly saved the other truck driver’s life.
