American Twp, OH (December 7, 2024) – An injury car crash occurred on December 6 in American Township, when a car collided with a parked car, pushing it into the porch of a mobile home. The incident, reported by the American Township Fire Department, took place at approximately 8:55 p.m. on West State Road near the mobile home park.
According to the fire department’s social media post, the driver of the car was transported to Mercy Health-St. Rita’s Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. One occupant inside the mobile home sustained injuries as well, but their condition was not immediately available.
The car was traveling westbound on West State Rd when it veered off the road, striking a mailbox, a power pole, landscaping, and a parked car before crashing into the mobile home. The collision caused significant damage to the porch area, and emergency responders were called to extract the car from the debris. Firefighters from American Township worked to stabilize the scene and assist with the vehicle extraction while paramedics provided medical care to those injured.
Midwest Electric responded promptly to replace the broken power pole, which had caused temporary power disruptions in the area.
