Perrysburg Township, Ohio (June 22, 2026) – Six people were hospitalized, including a teenage girl with life-threatening injuries, following a crash on Interstate 75 in Wood County on Sunday morning.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP), the incident occurred around 11 a.m. near milepost 195 in Perrysburg Township. Authorities are still investigating the cause.

Crash Details

Preliminary reports indicate that a vehicle driven by a 51-year-old man from Perrysburg was involved, along with a second vehicle occupied by an Illinois man, a 47-year-old woman, and two teenage girls (ages 16 and 13).

  • The 16-year-old girl sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
  • The other five individuals — including the Perrysburg driver, his 43-year-old male passenger from Maumee, the Illinois driver, the 47-year-old woman, and the 13-year-old girl — suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were also hospitalized.

No fatalities have been reported. Troopers have not released further details on the sequence of events, weather conditions, or whether speed, distraction, or impairment played a role. The investigation remains ongoing.

Impact on Traffic

The crash caused significant delays on I-75 in the area. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes during the response and cleanup. Northbound and/or southbound lanes were impacted depending on the exact location near the busy Perrysburg corridor, which sees heavy traffic between Toledo and points south.

Safety Reminder

Northwood Woman Honored with ‘Saved by the Belt’ Award After Surviving Ohio Crash

FREMONT, Ohio — A resident of Northwood in northwest Ohio was celebrated on Tuesday with a special state recognition for making it through a serious car accident last month, thanks to buckling up. Amy Craun was given the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s (OSHP) “Saved by the Belt” award after escaping major injuries in a September 11 collision in southwestern Sandusky County.

“Amy stands as a vivid example of how seatbelts can save lives,” OSHP Sgt. Matthew Davis noted in a press release. “Buckling up should be a habit for every single trip, no exceptions.”

As part of the honor, Craun also got a commemorative license plate. The award program, developed by the OSHP and the Ohio Department of Public Safety, highlights those who wisely choose to wear seatbelts in potentially deadly situations. OSHP data shows that 482 people lost their lives in Ohio traffic accidents last year because they weren’t using available seatbelts.
