FULTON COUNTY, Ohio — A 28-year-old Michigan man was killed Wednesday morning in a three-vehicle crash at U.S. 20 and County Road 23 in Gorham Township, just east of Fayette, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Kurt Burgard of Blissfield, Michigan, was driving north on County Road 23 in a 2014 Nissan Altima around 6:59 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, when his car did not stop at the stop sign at U.S. 20 and was struck by an eastbound pickup truck, the patrol said. Burgard was ejected from the Altima and died at the scene. The impact pushed his car into the westbound lanes, where it was struck by a 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan.

The pickup driver, a 64-year-old from Fayette, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo. The minivan driver, a 47-year-old from Lyons, suffered minor injuries and was not taken to a hospital. The crash remains under investigation by the patrol’s Toledo post.
