The Van Wert Patrol office has just updated their announcement and the ethanol leak from the fuel tanker has been contained and is no longer a safety issue, but both lanes are being diverted until the cleanup is completed. 
The Ohio State Patrol has reported a large vehicle accident at the corner of CR 87 and US24 the 9 mile marker. The area is currently blocked off and should be avoided as the Emergency crews are working to get people to the hospital and clean up the area.
The person killed in the accident was a dear friend to many people and part of the West Bend News family. Pray for the family of Ashley M.
