Christine Larsen watched the crash happen right outside her house.

“It could have been in my yard, not across the street,” Larsen said.

Larsen said it was a normal day until she got home.

“I pulled in my driveway, getting out of the car and a white SUV smashed into another SUV,” Larsen said. “I watched the whole thing, which is scary because I’ve never seen that.”

Larsen said it looked like the blue SUV was on Snyder Road getting ready to turn onto Little Richmond, before getting hit by the white SUV.

“It was very loud. Glass went everywhere, tired rolled off,” Larsen said. “There was Careflight and more cops.”

When News Center 7 arrived on scene, our crews saw medics performing life-saving measures on one person. CareFlight took that person to the hospital.

A state trooper told News Center 7 that three people in the white SUV got hurt.

“One of the people from the vehicle that actually struck the other one got out and ran down the street, an undercover did actually get them,” Larsen said. “How do you leave your friend knowing that they were literally stuck in the vehicle that you were just willing to just walk away from.”

News Center 7 crews saw Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies, and Moranie Police Department on scene of the crash.

“Scariest thing I’ve ever seen,” Larsen said.

State troopers confirmed the white SUV was stolen.

Information on the severity of injuries was not immediately available.

This is a developing story. News Center 7 will continue to update this story with new information.
