Initial reports claimed that at least one person involved in the crash was injured.
A preliminary investigation found that a blue 2007 Ford Explorer was attempting to make a left turn onto U.S. Route 127 from Beamsville Union City Road. However, the Ford failed to yield the right of way to a northbound tan 2005 GMC Sierra. The two vehicles collided at the intersection.
The Ford’s driver, his adult passenger, and a juvenile were treated at the scene then transported to Wayne Health Care for minor injuries via ground medical units.
The GMC’s driver suffered more serious, but still non-life-threatening injuries. A CareFlight transported the driver to Miami Valley Hospital after being treated on scene.
The Darke County Sheriff’s Office led the ongoing investigation into the crash.
