An Angola, Indiana, man was hurt badly in a two-vehicle crash Monday morning in Northwest Township.
The Defiance Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol reported that at 8:36 a.m., a 2008 Buick sedan driven by Hugh M. Skiles, 91, of Angola, was traveling southbound on County Road 1.50 while a 2017 Jeep SUV driven by Jennifer A. Horne, 41, of Edon, was traveling northbound on that road.
