1/27/2006

Two Toledo women were hurt yesterday when the car they were in went off Wales Road and into a ditch near East Broadway, Northwood police said.

Shirley Bair, 69, was flown to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center for treatment for chest pains. Her passenger, Patricia Foy, 68, was taken to the same hospital for a laceration on her head.

Ms. Bair was westbound on Wales about 7:50 p.m. when she failed to round a curve and went into the 10-foot-deep ditch, police said.

Both women were wearing seat belts.
