MANSFIELD -- Friday was a busy day for the Mansfield post of the Ohio Highway Patrol as troopers responded to three major accidents.

Around 5:30 a.m., a truck owned by Central Transport and driven by 44-year-old Alan Blazek went off the right side of the road on Interstate 71 southbound, seven miles south of Ohio 97. Troopers said Blazek fell asleep.

Trooper Brian Kelley said the truck struck a guard rail and several trees before falling into a creek bed. Blazek suffered minor injuries.
