Accident sends 1 Adult and 3-Month to Local Hospital

This afternoon, a two-vehicle accident occurred at 419 State Route 58, prompting a response from Ohio Highway Patrol, Polk Jackson Perry Fire Department, and Sullivan Fire Department & EMS.

The accident unfolded when a 2017 Dodge Ram Truck, towing a trailer, was heading southbound on State Route 58. Unexpectedly, the trailer became unhitched, veering into the northbound lane where it collided head-on with a 2015 Hyundai Elantra.

The impact forced the Hyundai Elantra off the right side of the highway, causing it to spin and come to a stop in a nearby yard.

As a result, both the driver and a 3-month old passenger in the Elantra sustained minor injuries and were transported to UH Samaritan Medical Center by emergency services.
