3 Injured in Union County Car Accident
A medical helicopter flew a passenger to a hospital after a car hit a home and a fire started on SR-31 early Saturday.
Three people were injured in a car crash on SR-31 in Union County on November 7, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
How the SR-31 Crash Unfolded
Troopers responded early Saturday to the single-vehicle crash. The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the driver, 18-year-old Kiara Lowry, was headed north in a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox when she tried to avoid a deer. The patrol said the SUV left the road and hit a home in the 34000 block of State Route 31, and both the vehicle and the house caught fire. Five people were inside the home, and the patrol said all of them got out safely. A medical helicopter flew an SUV passenger to a hospital with serious injuries. Medics treated a resident at the scene for minor injuries, and Northwestern EMS took Lowry to Memorial Hospital of Union County with injuries officials described as minor.
What Troopers Reported After the Fire
Firefighters put out the fire, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol said the home and the SUV were both destroyed. The patrol has not released further details about the passenger's condition.
A full investigation into a serious crash often takes weeks, and sometimes months. Investigators usually wait for vehicle data and lab results before they finish their report.
