OHIO — Snow-covered road conditions contributed to two separate crashes investigated by deputies with the Logan County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday morning, authorities said.
The first crash was reported just before 8:30 a.m. on County Road 142. Deputies said a 2008 Honda CR-V driven by 18-year-old Summer Literal of West Mansfield was traveling south when the vehicle slid off the right side of the roadway, entered a ditch, and struck several trees.
Literal was transported by Perry Township EMS to Mary Rutan Hospital for suspected minor injuries. She was cited for failure to control, and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
Approximately 15 minutes later, deputies responded to another crash on County Road 130. A 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe driven by 71-year-old Julia Armstrong of Bellefontaine went off the right side of the road and struck a pole and a culvert. Armstrong was transported by Bellefontaine EMS to Mary Rutan Hospital for possible minor injuries. She was also cited for failure to control, and her vehicle was towed.
Deputies noted that snowy and slick road conditions were a contributing factor in both incidents.
