A Whitehouse man is in fair condition today after injuries he received when the vehicle he was driving was struck by a car traveling in the opposite direction in Waterville Township, Ohio Highway Patrol troopers reported. 

At about 2:40 p.m., Robert T. Kerr, 51, was driving a car west on Weckerly Road,  when authorities said Haylee R. Leedy, 20, of Toledo, lost control of her eastbound vehicle and traveled left of center, hitting his car.
