WHIO-TV Video
On December 15, 2011 at approximately 8:33 PM, Darke County Deputies,
along with Ansonia Fire and Rescue and Careflight, were dispatched to
the intersection of U. S. Route 127 at State Route 185 in reference to
a two vehicle injury accident.
Prelimary investigation revealed that a silver 2006 Dodge truck, driven
by Joseph Fortkamp, 35, Rossburg, was westbound on State Route 185 when
he failed to yield at a stop sign and drove into the intersection and
struck the side of a 2000 Volvo semi tractor trailer, driven by Robert
D. Baker, 59, Ludlow Falls, which was southbound on U. S. Route
127. The semi tractor trailer, which was hauling seven brand new
Chevy pickups, came to a stop on U. S. Route 127, completely blocking
the roadway.
Fortkamp was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital, where he is listed in
critical condition. Baker was transported to Wayne Hospital in
Greenville by Ansonia Rescue, and later transferred to Miami Valley
Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition. U. S. Route 127
was closed to traffic for over seven hours while crews cleaned up the
wreckage.
The accident remains under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s
Department.
