One child, 4 adults in hospital after Dayton crash
Jun. 10—One child and four adults were injured early Thursday evening during a multi-vehicle crash in Dayton.
Trotwood crews originally reported the crash at 5:42 p.m. at the intersection of Free Pike and North Gettysburg Avenue, according to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center.
Crews reported at least four vehicles were involved, with one person trapped inside a vehicle.
Three medics were called to the scene, taking one patient to Dayton Children's Hospital and four to Miami Valley Hospital. The trapped person was freed from the vehicle, but it is unclear whether that person was among those taken to the hospital.
Dispatchers also said that one driver got out of a vehicle and ran away on foot. According to dispatch records, witnesses told police that the person later pulled a bike out of the bushes and rode northbound on Salem Avenue. Police searched the area with a K-9 unit.
The intersection was closed as crews investigated, but reopened at around 8:30 p.m. Nobody was taken into custody, dispatch records said.
