Two Woodville residents died in three-vehicle crash in Troy Township Saturday evening (12/9/2023).
The Wood County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a three-vehicle crash at US 20 (Fremont Pike) and Lemoyne Road in Troy Township at 6:58 p.m.
Jacob Hahn and Savannah Harding, both of Woodville, died when the gray 2016 Ford Fusion, which Hahn was driving westbound on Route 20, was struck in the rear by a red 2018 Kia Soul, traveling at a high rate of speed also westbound on Route 20.
The collision forced the Ford Fusion to spin across the center line of the roadway and sideways into the eastbound lane where it was struck by an eastbound gray 2019 Dodge Journey.
Both Hahn and Harding, a passenger in the vehicle, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The Kia Soul was operated by Samantha Hammons of Toledo, who was transported to Mercy St. Vincent’s Hospital in Toledo with minor injuries and later released. Heather Hammons and Asia Hammons, both of Toledo, were rear seat passengers in the Kia and not injured.
The Dodge Journey was operated by Zachery Bollinger, with passengers Megan Jock and Gabriella Bollinger, all of Clyde and all of whom were transported to Mercy St. Vincent Toledo for treatment of minor injuries.
Assisting on location was Lake Township Police, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Troy Township Fire and EMS, Pemberville Fire and EMS, Lake Township Fire and EMS, Ohio Department of Transportation, Ray’s Towing. Shipley’s Towing, and Frank’s Towing.
The incident is still under investigation.
