A passenger in the Taurus, Cameron Chance, 18, of Sidney, was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital, where he was later transferred to St. Rita’s by Lifeflight, according to a report from Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel.
Kimpel said their preliminary investigation indicates a Ford Taurus, driven by Gross northbound on Thompson-Schiff Road, failed to yield from a stop sign and pulled into the path of a Jeep Cherokee driven by Tyler Shroyer, 18, of Sidney, traveling eastbound on Mason Road. Both vehicles came to rest in a field on the northeast corner of the intersection, according to Kimpel’s report.
The driver of the Jeep received minor injuries and did not require removal from the scene. The accident remains under investigation. The Ohio State Patrol was called in to assist in reconstructing the accident, Kimpel said. The Sidney and Anna fire departments and the Anna Rescue responded to the scene, he said.
