LIMA — Multiple people were transported to the hospital Tuesday after a two-vehicle crash on Elida Road.
According to the American Township Police Department, officers were notified of the accident at approximately 2:30 p.m. in the 3500 block of Elida Road in front of The Lima News. The crash involved a silver Chevrolet SUV and a dark-colored Honda four-door sedan. The sedan sustained significant damage on the front of the vehicle, while the SUV showed damage on the passenger side of the vehicle, and side-impact airbags could be seen deployed when looking through the front passenger window.
An American Township police officer on the scene did confirm that injuries did occur and that transportation to the hospital did occur via American Township Fire Department ambulance, but he did not say how many were transported. A male from the Honda sedan could later be seen being placed on a stretcher and loaded onto an ambulance.
First responders from American Township Police and Fire and the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, along with crews from Able Towing, were on the scene for approximately one hour.
