Four people were hurt in a rollover crash in Hancock County shortly before midnight Friday, Oct. 30, in the area of 8359 Township Road 242, according to the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, via the Fostoria Free Press.
The driver was operating a Kia Soul through a field when the vehicle struck a ditch and overturned, the sheriff’s office said.
Four passengers were hurt: three juveniles with serious injuries not considered life-threatening, and a fourth passenger, 18, who was flown by medical helicopter to St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo with serious injuries. No further information on the passengers’ conditions has been released.
The driver was later located and taken into custody. Jail booking records list him as Marshall Patterson, 29, booked Oct. 31 into the Hancock County Justice Center on a third-degree felony count of aggravated vehicular assault.
As of Wednesday, Nov. 4, no court filing or arraignment in the case could be located online. Patterson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The crash remains under investigation by the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office in Findlay.
