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.
