LAKE TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WTVG) - One person is in the hospital with serious injuries after a semi-truck drove through a garage in Lake Township Tuesday morning.

On Nov. 21, the Lake Township Fire Department responded to reports of an injury crash with a structural collapse. Officials learned that a semi-truck had almost completely driven through an unattached garage near the intersection of Latcha Road and Warns Drive.
