Two vehicles face eastbound along state Route 29 east of Fleetfoot Road after an accident this morning. At least two people were taken by emergency medical services to Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater for injuries. Helicopter transport to Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton was requested for one victim, Mercer County Sheriff's Capt. Mark Emerine said. Injuries were not considered life-threatening and he did not have names of those injured, he said. The roadway was closed for about 45 minutes as crews cleaned up spilled fuel. Deputies and Celina police and fire department personnel responded to the incident. A full accident report is pending from the sheriff's office.

Correction:

Donald Norris was taken by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where he is still in the intensive care unit. The name of the hospital was incorrect in the photo information.

The error was made in reporting.
