Serious Motor Vehicle Crash on State Route 83 at State Route 604

At approximately 8:58 a.m. on Monday, June 1, 2026, the Canaan Township Fire Department responded to a reported serious motor vehicle crash at the intersection of State Route 83 and State Route 604 in Canaan Township.

Upon arrival, emergency personnel found a three-vehicle collision involving multiple patients. Firefighters and EMS personnel immediately initiated patient care, assisted with scene stabilization, and worked alongside law enforcement and mutual aid agencies to ensure the safety of those involved and the traveling public.

Several individuals sustained injuries and were evaluated and treated by emergency medical personnel. Tragically, one individual succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is conducting the investigation into the cause of the crash. The intersection remained closed for an extended period while emergency operations, crash reconstruction, and roadway cleanup were completed.

The Canaan Township Fire Department would like to thank the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio Department of Transportation, Wooster Fire & EMS, Lodi Fire & EMS, Central Fire and EMS, the Wayne County Coroner’s Office, and Wadsworth Towing for their assistance during this incident.

Our thoughts and condolences are with all those affected by this tragic event.

Last night was a great night for flushing dry hydrants around the township!

🚒Why do we do this?
Over time, sediment and debris can build up inside the pipes, causing potential obstructions for water flow. This procedure helps keep our dry hydrants clear, accessible, and ready for firefighting operations. Regular maintenance and testing help ensure firefighters can quickly and safely access reliable water sources throughout our community.
