Two children have been taken to Dayton Children's Hospital from a single-vehicle accident on South Tipp Cowlesville Road, just north of Virginia Drive, in Tipp City, and the driver has been given a traffic citation for a violation, Miami County Sheriff’s deputies said.
The injuries are said to be non-life threatening and the adult who was in the vehicle has accompanied the children to the hospital, Tipp City EMS personnel said.
According to the deputies, the driver removed one of the children, still in a car seat, before EMS personnel arrived.
Police and the medic unit were dispatched about 5:25 p.m. on a report that the sedan had slammed into a utility pole.
There is a phone wire in the street, knocked loose from the pole because of the impact, and that is causing traffic to be re-routed.
