Driver David M. Scott, 39, and his passenger, Troy G. Hughes, 51, both of Huntsville, each were transported by CareFlight helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton for treatment of suspected serious injuries sustained in an all-terrain vehicle crash.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report Scott was operating an eastbound 2021 Honda ATV about 9:50 p.m. Saturday on Township Road 56 near County Road 37 when he drove off the right side of the road during dry road conditions and overcorrected.
The ATV then overturned three times and came to a final rest on its top.

Neither the driver nor the passenger were wearing a seat belt and both occupants were thrown from the ATV.
Damage was heavy to the ATV, which was towed from the scene.
