* Oct. 5, 1:20 p.m.: Tomara J. Hendry, 18, Kettering, Ohio, was southwest bound on Rangeline Road in a 2001 Ford Mustang, trying to negotiate curves in the road. Hendry said a vehicle was northeast bound and traveling left of center, so she swerved right to avoid the collision. Her vehicle lost traction due to low air pressure in the left rear tire and began to spin around when she left the roadway on the north side. She went into the ditch, where she struck a sign, trees and brush before stopping.

Vehicle towed by D & D. Damage $2,501-$5,000.
