Tuscarawas Valley Memorial Highway | Columbus News

A stretch of Interstate 70 in Licking County has been officially renamed the Tuscarawas Valley Memorial Highway, honoring the six lives lost in a deadly November bus crash — three students and three chaperones from Tuscarawas Valley High School. The bill, signed into law, designates a specific section in Etna Township as a permanent tribute, with markers to be installed by the Ohio Department of Transportation. The crash, caused by a tractor-trailer that failed to slow down, also left 18 others injured. The driver was convicted of vehicular homicide and served 18 months, with his license suspended for five years — a somber reminder of the tragedy that galvanized a community’s commitment to never forget.
