ARCHBOLD, Ohio — A Fayette, Ohio, couple suffered serious injuries in a traffic accident on U.S. 20A three miles north of Archbold, Ohio, Wednesday, authorities said.

Richard Whaley, 78, and his wife, Judith, 69, were flown to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center after the 2:50 p.m. crash.

Both were in the trauma unit last night, a hospital spokesman said.

Mr. and Mrs. Whaley were westbound on U.S. 20A when their pickup was hit by an eastbound dump truck that went left of center, troopers from the Toledo Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said.

The driver of the dump truck, Brad Nagel, 30, of Swanton, was not injured.

The accident remains under investigation.
