There was a lot of damage when News Center 7’s Malik Patterson arrived at the scene.
The crash was so impactful that an engine from one of the cars was in the middle of the intersection.
There was also a broken utility pole. Next to it were a Kia and a Nissan.
OSHP Sergeant Nick Bishop did not want to be on camera. But he said that there were no witnesses in the area at the time of the crash.
“Preliminary Investigation shows the Nissan, a Nissan, I think it’s a rogue, was eastbound on County Line Road. Either failed to yield or did stop at the stop sign, not sure. We haven’t talked to him yet,” he told Patterson.
CareFlight transported the Nissan driver to Miami Valley Hospital with serious injuries.
Medics transported two others to the Kia to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
There were about four homes near the crash. Ohio Edison came out to fix the damage.
“I just talked to Ohio, and it’s pretty cold out here to have no power. They said probably a couple of hours,” said Sgt. Bishop.
State troopers told Patterson that they don’t believe speed or impairment played a factor.
