BROWN COUNTY — Two people were seriously injured in a crash Saturday night at the intersection of US Route 68 and Oakland Road.
Ohio State Highway Patrol Troopers from the Georgetown Post responded to the scene around 7:39 a.m.
According to the preliminary investigation, a Ford pickup truck driven by 22-year-old William Freimuth of Bethel was traveling westbound on Oakland Road.
The truck entered the intersection and was struck by a southbound minivan driven by 43-year-old Melissa Lakes of Mount Orab.
The impact caused the pickup to veer off the left side of the road and collide with a utility pole. The minivan also left the roadway, ending up in a ditch.
Lakes sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center by UC Air Care.
Her passenger, 21-year-old Charity Effinger of Mount Orab, was also seriously injured and transported to the same hospital.
Freimuth, who was wearing a seatbelt, was not injured.
The crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
