MARYSVILLE – Troopers of the Marysville Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are currently investigating a one-vehicle injury crash Monday evening in Union County that sent two teens to area hospitals.
Driver Shane D. Shannonhouse, 17, of Marysville, was transported by Concord Township EMS to Dublin Methodist Hospital after the 9:20 p.m. crash. His passenger Jeremy Ooten, 16, of Marysville, were transported by Jerome Township EMS to Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus.
Both occupants were being treated for non-life threatening injuries as a result of the crash, troopers said.
Shane reportedly was operating a southwestbound 2014 Dodge Charger on County Road 101 (Hinton Mill Road) near County Road 107 (Springdale Road South) in Union County.
Troopers said he failed to negotiate a curve and went off the left side of the roadway, striking a ditch, which caused the vehicle to overturn and come to final rest on its roof.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted at the scene by Concord Township EMS, Jerome Township EMS and Hogan’s Tire and Service.
Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the crash and both occupants were found to be wearing their seat belts, troopers reported.
