Two drivers were taken to a hospital Sunday evening following an accident on Highway 36, ten miles to the west of Chillicothe.
The Highway Patrol listed injuries as minor for 21-year-old Brady Bothwell of Mooresville and moderate for 65-year-old Stewart Seidel from Port Washington, Wisconsin. Both were taken by Chillicothe EMS to Hedrick Medical Center.
A tractor and a tractor-trailer were eastbound when the big rig driven by Seidel struck a disk ripper being towed by Bothwell. The impact caused the Wisconsin man’s tractor-trailer to overturn onto the driver’s side on both lanes of eastbound Highway 36. Bothwell’s tractor went off the south side of the road.
