OHIO — Three people were injured following a multi-vehicle crash Wednesday morning on U.S. 35 in Greene County.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, troopers from the Xenia Post responded shortly after 8:10 a.m. to a four-vehicle crash on westbound U.S. 35 near the 46-mile marker in Beavercreek Township.
An initial investigation found that a 2020 Mercedes-Benz van was traveling westbound on the highway when it approached traffic that had stopped for a signal. Authorities said several vehicles had halted due to the light and a water main break affecting traffic on Dayton Xenia Road.
The water main break impacted travel on U.S. 35 between Trebein Road and Orchard Lane, according to officials.
Troopers said the van’s driver, a 50-year-old man, admitted he was not paying attention to the stopped traffic and struck the vehicles.
Two people involved in the crash were transported to a local hospital by medics. The driver of the Mercedes-Benz was treated at the scene.
Authorities cited the van’s driver in connection with the crash. The investigation remains ongoing.
