The Ohio State Highway Patrol now has regional Twitter accounts in addition to its main Twitter page.

The highway patrol says the regional accounts will provide more localized information to area residents and members of the media.

The information will include things like traffic crashes, major road closures, public outreach, traffic safety information and more.

The regional account for northwest Ohio is @OSHP_NWOhio.

The other regional accounts are as follows:
