Two people were injured in a two-vehicle accident late Monday afternoon. Just after 4:35pm yesterday – Darke County deputies, along with Ansonia Fire and Ansonia Rescue, responded to the intersection of U.S. Route 127 North and State Route 47 on the report of a two-vehicle injury accident.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a blue 2026 Jeep Compass, driven by 61-year-old Harold E. Speight of Union City, Indiana, was stopped eastbound on State Route 47 at the posted stop sign at U.S. Route 127. Speight failed to yield the right-of-way after stopping and traveled into the path of a white 2022 Ford F-250 driven by Kevin M. Phlipot of New Weston, Ohio.
Following the collision, both vehicles traveled off the roadway and came to rest in a parking lot.
Speight was transported to Wayne HealthCare with non-life-threatening injuries. Phlipot was treated and released at the scene.
