A semitrailer hauling boxed dehumidifiers rolled over on Ohio 2 in Carroll Township, Sandusky County, around 6:28 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, shutting down both directions of the highway for hours.

The 2027 Freightliner was traveling east on Ohio 2 near Lemon Road when it drove off the right side of the road, struck a ditch and a tree, and turned over on its side.

Ohio 2 was completely closed between Ohio 590 and Ohio 19 and did not officially reopen until about 2:30 p.m., because the boxed dehumidifiers had to be unloaded and reloaded into another vehicle.

The driver, Kimba Abdouramaue, 25, of North Carolina, had minor injuries, was not taken to a hospital, and was cited for operating a vehicle without reasonable control. No other vehicles were involved.

The Sandusky post of the Ohio Highway Patrol is investigating, with Carroll Township police, fire and EMS and ODOT assisting.
