Prayers shot out. I hope he recovers fully.

Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

Allen County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Snider seizes marijuana plants from a field Sept. 5. Snider was in serious condition Wednesday at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo after a head-on vehicle accident Tuesday. Lima News Photo by LUKE VICKREY.
LIMA — A somber mood lingered over the Allen County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday as employees in the department waited for news on one of their deputies who was severely injured in a two-vehicle crash the day before.
Everyone at the sheriff’s department was concerned for Deputy Brian Snider, who was involved in a head-on crash Tuesday while on his way home. He was in serious condition Wednesday at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, sheriff’s officials said.
Few details on Snider’s injuries were being released Wednesday. Sheriff’s Capt. Steve Hoverman said Snider has numerous broken bones, including to the legs and one arm.
“Nobody knows what the outcome of his condition is going to be,” Hoverman said. “It’s kind of like a hurry-up-and-wait thing right now.”
Several deputies and high-ranking sheriff officials were at Snider’s bedside at the Toledo hospital, where the 29-year-old Snider was flown by medical helicopter Tuesday from Lima Memorial Hospital, Hoverman said.
This accident, which Hoverman said was the worst in terms of injury involving a deputy that he has seen in his 25 years, reminds all officers of the dangers of their job. By the nature of the job, police officers are like a family because of the dangers they face, often on a daily basis, he said.
“We know that at any given time we might have to put our life on the line for one another,” Hoverman said.
The crash happened about 4:20 p.m. Tuesday on Reservoir Road at the intersection of Mumaugh Road. Snider had finished work for the day and was on his way home when the car he was driving collided with a westbound semitrailer that was turning south on Mumaugh Road.
The truck driver, 43-year-old Darrell J. Storm Jr., of Spotsylvania, Va., was treated and released from Lima Memorial Hospital. He was driving for Schneider National, Hoverman said.
Although Snider was on his way home, he still was on the clock, Hoverman said. Deputies assigned a county car are not off the clock until they arrive home, since they can be dispatched to a call during that time, Hoverman said.
The crash investigation may take several weeks to conclude and remains under investigation. The focus of the investigation is trying to determine who had the right of way, Hoverman said.
“We have several witnesses that we’re interviewing to try to determine right of way,” he said, adding some of the witnesses will be interviewed again to expand on statements they gave.
There is no indication the light, which is at the entrance to Procter & Gamble, was malfunctioning at the time of the crash, Hoverman said.
“It was functioning fine last night,” he said.
Hoverman is overseeing the investigation, but it is being handled by two sergeants, Tom McNamara and Mike Stechschulte, Hoverman said.
Officers have interviews to complete and must reconstruct the crash backward from where it occurred, Hoverman said.
“It will take a couple weeks,” he said.
Hoverman estimated Snider’s speed at 55 mph, which is the speed limit on Reservoir Road. It was raining at the time of the crash. Snider was wearing a seat belt, he said.
Hoverman described Snider as a dedicated, hard-working employee.
“Anytime I gave him an assignment, it always got taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about it. It got done well,” Hoverman said.
Snider was hired as a part-time administrative assistant to the sheriff Sept. 14, 1998. That job became full-time on June 3, 1999. On June 28, 2001, Snider was hired as a deputy and assigned to the department’s community policing division and selective enforcement team, Hoverman said.
Up until the time he became a full-time deputy, Snider worked as a special deputy in Marion County, Hoverman said.
