January 29, 2015
ARCANUM, Ohio (WDTN) – The victims of an icy crash Thursday
morning in Arcanum are students who were making their way to school after a two
hour delay.
Arcanum rescue crews were called to the 2800 block of
Littles Road between Hollansburg Sampson Road and Hollansburg Arcanum Road
around 7:30 a.m.
They arrived to find the pickup truck on its side, down an
embankment and in a creek.
Investigators say the 18-year-old driver lost control on the
ice. Two other students were in the pickup, one is 11-years-old.
None of their injuries are life-threatening, but the
11-year-old was flown to Dayton Children’s Hospital onboard the Careflight
helicopter.
The Arcanum-Butler School District reported the accident on
its web site.
It says school administrators went to the hospitals where the students
were taken to check on their conditions.
Police are investigating the crash to see if any other
factors played a role.
