Deadly Wreck Near Defiance

A Lima woman dies in a motorcycle versus big rig crash, near Continental. Officials say Jill Wolfe, 61, is the victim…following the accident at Ohio 613 and 15. Officials tell reporters…Wolfe was southbound on Ohio 15, when her motorcycle struck a tractor trailer, driven by Jaswinder Singh, of Bakersfield, Calif. They add he had pulled into Wolfe’s path. Singh, who was westbound on Ohio 613, had stopped at the intersection, but then pulled into the crossroads, causing the collision. Traffic on Ohio 613 must stop for the two signs posted there…while traffic on Ohio 15 does not have to stop. Singh was cited for failure to yield, but because the crash became a fatal incident, he will be charged with a more serious offense when the investigation is complete, officials confirm. A memorial service for Wolfe, who graduated from Defiance High School, is scheduled on Saturday.
