A driver and passenger each were hospitalized Monday, Feb. 17, following a serious, single-vehicle crash that occurred around 2:19 p.m. along westbound State Route 47 near Pleasant Township Road 211, deputies from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report.
Peyton Cox, 20, and Desiree Robinson, 19, both of Bellefontaine were transported by Indian Lake EMS from the crash scene. Cox was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton with suspected serious injuries. Robinson was treated at Mary Rutan Hospital for suspected minor injuries, according to a crash report.
Cox reportedly was westbound in a 2007 gray Chevy Impala on S.R. 47, just west of Twp. Road 211 when he lost control, traveled off the right side of the road and struck a utility pole before coming to rest in a wooded embankment.
Deputies were also assisted by DeGraff Fire Department, Riverside EMS, and Quincy Fire Department.
Disabling damage was reported to the Impala and it was towed from the scene. A failure to control citation is pending.
