Monroe Township, OH (August 12, 2024) – An injury car collision occurred on Sunday morning, August 11, in northeast Allen County, resulting in three individuals being hospitalized. The incident, reported by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, took place shortly after 11:00 a.m. at the intersection of Hillville Road and Mayberry Road.

Local law enforcement officials are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
