Teen remains hospitalized after hit-and-run ATV accident

Published April 2, 2009

OTTOVILLE - A 19-year-old woman remained hospitalized with serious injuries Wednesday, four days after being struck by an all-terrain vehicle in Putnam County, Putnam County Sheriff Jim Beutler said.

Beutler said the teen's injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

A nursing supervisor at St. Rita's Medical Center said Kasey Brooks was listed in serious condition Wednesday night. It was not clear where Brooks is from and the Sheriff's Office would not release the incident report.

The hit-and-run accident happened northeast of Ottoville in the 13000 block of Route 24 early Saturday. Beutler said the girl had been at a friend's house nearby when she apparently left the group and was walking down the road.

Friends found her about an hour after she was hit, Beutler said.

He said officials had a suspect in mind but was not aware Wednesday of any charges being filed.
