SALEM TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A sheriff’s deputy in Ottawa County was injured Wednesday when a car trying to avoid a crash ended going airborne and landing on the back of the patrol car, according to the State Highway Patrol.
The 17-year-old driver of the car was seriously injured in the crash on Ohio 163. She was taken to St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, but her condition was unavailable Wednesday night.
Troopers say the teen was driving a 2011 Mini Cooper convertible east on Ohio 163 just before 6:30 a.m. when she swerved to avoid hitting a car that had slowed to make a left turn. The Mini Cooper hit a landscape mound and sailed 80 feet in the air before landing on the back the deputy’s Ford Explorer cruiser, which was parked at a local business.
Deputy Marc Nye, 43, was taken to McGruder Hospital in Port Clinton with “incapacitating” injuries, troopers say. A second patrol car, a Dodge Charger, parked in the lot was struck as well, but the 49-year-old deputy in the vehicle was not injured.
The crash remains under investigation, but drugs and alcohol are not suspected. Everyone involved was wearing a seatbelt.
