STAUNTON TWP. – At approximately 8:47 a.m. this morning (June 6), Miami County Sheriff’s Deputies and the Troy Fire Department responded to a serious traffic crash in the 2200 block of S. State Route 202, Staunton Township, near Troy.

​

   Initial reports indicate that a vehicle left the roadway and crashed into an occupied residence, entering the interior of the structure. The driver, an 18-year-old female, was entrapped in the vehicle and required extrication by emergency personnel. She was transported by squad to a nearby hospital for treatment. Her injuries are still being assessed at this time.
