It happened at State Route 121 and Childrens Home Bradford Road, authorities say
GREENVILLE TOWNSHIP, OH, (December 05, 2024) - A Thursday morning crash in Greenville Township resulted in the hospitalization of two people, according to the Darke County Sheriff's Office.
Heidi Wolfe, a 58-year-old resident of Versailles, was injured as a result of a two-vehicle crash in Greenville Township Thursday morning, according to a news report.
The incident occurred at the intersection of State Route 121 and Childrens Home Bradford Road.
Based on preliminary findings, a white 2012 Jeep Cherokee was traveling southbound on State Route 121 just as a red 2019 Dodge Caravan was going westbound. Around 7:36 a.m., the Dodge's driver reportedly failed to stop at the posted stop sign, causing both vehicles to collide. As a result of the crash, the Cherokee left the roadway on the left side and overturned, eventually landing on its top.
The driver of the Cherokee—Heidi Wolfe, 58, of Versailles—and the Dodge's driver were taken to Wayne HealthCare for treatment, officials said.
This is an ongoing investigation.
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Each year, motor vehicle crashes in this country kill roughly 36,000 people and injure 1.9 million more. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes in 2018, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.
“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Heidi Wolfe may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.
Bond, a national legal analyst for Newsline, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
