>>Lima man killed in early morning crash

From OSHP: On January 18, 2025, at approximately 12:40 A.M. troopers with the Lima Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to a call on Slabtown Rd. just north of Searfoss Rd, Allen County, for a report of a crash where a vehicle rolled over and the driver was ejected.

​Keith A. Lackey, age 56, of Lima, was operating a 1998 Ford Explorer northbound on Slabtown Rd. and drove partially off the right side of the roadway. The vehicle re-entered the roadway and began sliding sideways and drove partially off the left side of the roadway. The vehicle then re-entered the roadway and rolled over several times, ejecting the driver before coming to final rest on the right side of the roadway in a ditch.

​Mr. Lackey was transported to St. Rita’s Mercy Health Hospital by Columbus Grove EMS where he was pronounced deceased.

Mr. Lackey was not wearing a seatbelt, and alcohol is suspected as a possible factor in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

***Groamy’s Damaged by Fire

AN ICONIC LIMA BUSINESS WAS DAMAGED BY A FIRE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

LIMA FIRE FIGHTERS WERE CALLED OUT TO GROAMY'S CD'S AND TAPES ABOUT 4:45.

THE DAMAGE WAS MOSTLY TO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING AND TO THE CONTENTS OF THE STORE.

BATH FIRE PERSONNEL ASSISTED ON SCENE AS FIREFIGHTERS WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 ½ HOURS. THE CAUSE OF THE BLAZE IS STILL UNKNOWN.

THE DAMAGE ESTIMATE BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND THE CONTENTS IS $200,000.

THE PROPRIETOR OF GROAMY'S, GENE FRUEH, HAPPENED TO BE AT THE STORE AND CALLED LFD AFTER WAKING AND DISCOVERING THE FIRE.

THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ADJACENT BUILDINGS AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

WIMA SPOKE WITH FREUH AND HE SAID HE’S BEEN OVERWHELMED BY THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT AND LOVE FROM THE PUBLIC AND HIS SUPPORTERS AND CUSTOMERS.

HE ALSO SAID DESPITE THE DAMAGE AND SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF PRODUCT, HE WANTS THE EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT GROAMY'S WILL BE BACK.
