By John Estridge from a Franklin County Sheriff’s Department press release

One person was removed by helicopter late Saturday night, August 29, due to injuries incurred in a one-vehicle accident on Oxford Pike near Mixersville.

According to a Franklin County Sheriff’s Department press release, around 11:30 p.m., Colton R. Crawford, 19, Hamilton, Ohio, was injured when the 2000 Chevrolet S-10 he was driving failed to negotiate a curve, going off the north side of the road, striking a tree, which caused the pickup to roll over, ejecting Crawford before the pickup came to rest inverted.

Crawford was taken to University Hospital by an Air Care Medical helicopter.

The accident is still under investigation.

Franklin County Sheriff’s Department deputies were assisted at the scene by Franklin County EMS, Responder 24 and the West College Corner Volunteer Fire Department.
