3 hurt in crash on Xenia U.S. 35 Business Route

UPDATE @ 9:55 p.m.: Three people were taken to hospitals from a two-vehicle collision on the U.S. 35 Business Route.

Sgt. Jim Slusher, Ohio Highway Patrol post at Xenia, said a mother and child in an SUV were taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital and the driver of a Pontiac G6 was taken to Greene Memorial Hospital.

None of the injuries was believed to be life threatening, he said, but the injury to the Pontiac driver was believed to be significant.

Slusher said the preliminary investigation shows the SUV, headed west on the business route, turned left to get onto the entrance ramp to the eastbound U.S. 35 Bypass and failed to yield to the oncoming Pontiac.

The collision shut down the business route for approximately 90 minutes.

The investigation is incomplete, he said, because there are some interviews that are pending.
