A 32-year-old Fulton County woman was in serious condition in Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center on Sunday morning after a two-vehicle crash in Swanton Township on Saturday afternoon.

Melissa M. Wanless of Delta was driving a sport utility vehicle north on State Rt. 64 at 3:52 p.m. when a southbound car driven by Kristopher F. Hawkins, 31, of Delta went left of center, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol’s Toledo post.

The car struck the SUV, which went off the right side of the road and overturned, throwing Ms. Wanless out of the vehicle, the patrol said. She was flown to the hospital with incapacitating injuries.

Mr. Hawkins refused treatment at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.
