Celina woman’s pickup truck hits pole, overturns in fatal crash

A 52-year-old Celina woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash this afternoon in Washington Twp., Mercer County.

Alice L. Buschor was headed south shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Township Line Road, north of Ohio 29 in her 2001 Ford F-150 when she went off the west side of the roadway, overcorrected and lost control before she again went off the west side of the road. Her pickup truck struck a utility poll and rolled, ejecting Buschor, to Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said.

Two witnesses to the crash said speed was not a factor.

Buschor was pronounced dead at the scene by Mercer County Coroner Dr. Timothy Heinrichs. Her death marks the second fatal crash in Mercer County for 2017, Grey said.

The sheriff said the Celina Fire Department / EMS also assisted at the scene.
