However, on arrival crews found that only two vehicles were involved, one of which had rolled over and landed in a creek, according to Miami Twp. Police Public Information Officer William Olinger.
A 911 caller reported that there was a pickup truck on its driver’s side in the water, saying that a man got out but a woman was trapped. The caller also said that there was a strong smell of gas, and later added that passers-by were able to free the woman.
A 57-year-old man and a 61-year-old woman were trapped by the crash and had to be extracted them from the vehicle, Olinger said.
Medics transported them to Kettering Medical Center, records said. Olinger said they are listed in critical, but not life-threatening condition.
Olinger said that the crash was possibly due to a failure to yield, which can be dangerous on country roads where speed limits are around 50-55 mph.
There is a crash reconstruction team on scene to investigate the crash further, Olinger said.
