Overview
- A 53-year-old woman sustained non-life-threatening leg injuries when a pickup hit her on Fulton Drive NW around 2:10–2:15 p.m. Saturday.
- Witness photos of a white truck and its license plate helped Jackson Township police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol locate the suspect at his home.
- Local reporting identified the man as 77 years old, and he told the Canton Repository he did not act intentionally and barely remembers the incident.
- Jackson Township’s police chief disputed the man’s assertion that officers signaled approval or told him not to worry after the crash.
- Massillon prosecutors expect a full investigative report this week before deciding on charges, and officials say they do not consider the suspect a flight risk.
