Older women hurt in 1-vehicle accident

A minor injury crash occurred at 10:40 a.m. Tuesday on Ohio 116, just west of Rogers Road.

According to troopers from the Van Wert Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a 1992 Chrysler driven by Mary Mullen, 84 of Delphos, was westbound on Ohio 116 when she drove off the right side of the road at the curve. Mullen overcorrected and the vehicle went back off the right side of the road again, where it overturned in a field.

Mullen and a passenger, Bettie Bohnlein, 89, of Delphos, were transported to Van Wert County Hospital by Middle Point EMS for treatment. A Samaritan medical services helicopter later transferred Mullen to Lutheran Hospital. Her vehicle was towed from the scene.

The Van Wert County Sheriff’s Department, and Middle Point Fire & EMS assisted at the scene.
