In Wayne County, a three-vehicle crash on Cleveland Road involved a 2010 Nissan Sentra that crossed the center line and collided with a northbound semi-truck before overturning and striking a GMC Sierra pickup pulling a horse trailer, killing the Sentra’s driver, Imogene Osborne, who was wearing her seatbelt. The drivers of the semi-truck and the pickup were unharmed. Both crashes remain under investigation, with emergency responders and multiple agencies assisting at the scenes.
