Sarah Ein­se­len — Staff

Two Galion police vehi­cles, Galion fire Engine 3 and an accom­pa­ny­ing EMS crew responded to a two-car col­li­sion at the inter­sec­tion of Mar­ket and Sum­mit streets at approx­i­mately 1:50 p.m. Thurs­day, Jan. 5. One per­son was taken away on a stretcher in the ambu­lance. The police depart­ment reported at 3:10 p.m. Thurs­day that the inves­ti­ga­tion into the crash is ongo­ing. Vehi­cles approach­ing the inter­sec­tion imme­di­ately after the col­li­sion were directed to take another route.

UPDATE: Accord­ing to the crash report com­pleted by the Galion police, Megan L. Miller, a Port­land Way res­i­dent, ran the stop sign when dri­ving a bronze Oldsmo­bile Alero west­bound through the inter­sec­tion of East Sum­mit Street and North Mar­ket Street. She was struck by Rose A. Apger, who was dri­ving a red Toy­ota Solara, and suf­fered inca­pac­i­tat­ing injuries. Apger hit Miller’s car in the dri­ver side rear, caus­ing it to spin around and hit a tree. The Galion Fire/EMS trans­ported Miller to Galion Com­mu­nity Hos­pi­tal. Both vehi­cles had to be towed from the scene by Fair Price Towing.
