Saturday crash prompts search for victims

By Randa Wagner –

An early Sat­ur­day crash in Mor­row County prompted a search for the acci­dent victims.

Mt. Gilead Post 95 of the High­way Patrol reports Adam Hosey, 32, lost con­trol of his 2005 Chevy Camaro and struck a tree on State Route 61 south of CR 115. When offi­cers arrived on the scene, the vehi­cle was empty.

Mor­row County Sher­iff Steve Bren­ne­man reports deputies from his office, the Mt. Gilead Police Depart­ment, the State Patrol and Mt. Gilead’s K-9 unit searched for the occu­pants. The sheriff’s office received a call from a res­i­dent in the 4000 block of SR 61 who reported a bleed­ing man and young girl sit­ting in a golf cart in his barn. When offi­cers arrived, the pair was gone in the golf cart. An OSP heli­copter located Hosey and his four-year-old daugh­ter walk­ing on CR 115 about a mile from where the crash occurred.

The Patrol reports Hosey was trans­ported to Grant Med­ical Cen­ter for a bro­ken arm and released. His daugh­ter also was treated for minor wounds.

The inci­dent is still under inves­ti­ga­tion and pos­si­ble charges could be filed.
