UPDATE @ 9:29 p.m.: The driver of a pickup truck has been taken to Miami Valley Hospital from the two-vehicle accident on state Route 444 at Spangler Road in Fairborn.

The driver of the pickup had to be extricated after the collision with a box truck pinned the pickup against a guardrail, said Sgt. Matt Cleaveland, Xenia Post Ohio State Highway Patrol.

According to the preliminary investigation, the box truck failed to yield at a stop sign at Spangler, the sergeant said.

CareFlight took the victim to the hospital, where his condition was not known, Cleaveland said.

The driver of the box truck was not injured.

Cleaveland said it was too early to talk about possible traffic violations because the investigation was not complete.
