Driver Kaitlin M. Wood, 24, of Marysville, and her two passengers, a 2-year-old boy and a 3-month-old boy, were checked for injuries at the scene of a crash Thursday by Bellefontaine EMS personnel on Eastern Avenue in Bellefontaine.
Wood and the two children were not transported from the scene of the 7:05 a.m. crash, deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report.
Deputies said Wood was operating a westbound car in the 1300 block of Eastern Avenue when her vehicle slid on the wet pavement and her brakes reportedly locked up. The car then went off the left side of the road, struck an embankment and a utility pole before coming to a rest.
