Celina, OH : Five people injured in a three-vehicle crash Mercer County on Friday October 7 2016
Five people were injured in a three-vehicle accident on U.S. 127 on Friday afternoon.
The accident involved four adults and one infant, Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey told the newspaper on Friday. All five initially were transported by EMS to Mercer County Community Hospital, Coldwater. Three were later transferred to other hospitals, two by emergency helicopter and one by EMS. The names of those involved and their conditions were not released as of press time pending notification of their families.
Grey said an agricultural tractor pulling wagons of grain was traveling northbound on U.S. 127 between state Route 274 and Depweg Road at about 2:25 p.m. Several cars reportedly were following the tractor due to its slow speed.
A semitrailer with one occupant reportedly was traveling southbound on U.S. 127 and was next to the tractor when a cross-over SUV, carrying two adults and an infant, pulled out from behind the tractor into oncoming traffic, Grey said.
