William Leopold, 15, of Russells Point, was transported by Indian Lake squad to Mary Rutan Hospital for non-incapacitating injuries sustained in a weather-related crash early Saturday morning.
Troopers of the Marysville Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol report he was a passenger in an eastbound vehicle operated at 12:45 a.m. by Kodie M. Miner, 17, of Lakeview, on U.S. Route 33 at milepost seven in Washington Township. The vehicle reportedly slid off the right side of the icy road and struck a ditch, and then overturned.
The driver did not report any injuries, but two of his other passengers, Jacob Brown, 15, and Jaiden Lawrence, 14, each was checked at the scene by Indian Lake EMS personnel for possible injuries.
All of the occupants were wearing their seat belts. Troopers did not issue a citation, noting a very sudden drop in temperature at that time that caused slick road conditions.
