A 36-year-old Urbana man was struck and killed by a vehicle Saturday afternoon while tending to a tire issue on the side of the road in northern Clark County.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Michael Wise had stopped his silver Chevy Aveo on the northbound shoulder of Urbana Road (State Route 72), between Eagle City Road and Thomaston Trail in Moorefield Township.

He was outside the vehicle when the crash happened.

Preliminary reports indicate that just after 1:50 p.m., a red Chevrolet Silverado traveling northbound on Ohio 72 drifted out of its lane and onto the shoulder.

The vehicle struck both Wise and his car.

Wise was pronounced dead at the scene.

No further details about the driver of the Silverado have been released at this time, and the crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
