2 injured after crashing into utility pole

DARKE COUNTY – On Thursday at approximately 9:36 a.m. Darke County Deputies, along with Greenville Township Fire and Rescue and Greenville City Fire, responded to the 3100 block of SR 571 for a one-vehicle crash with injuries.

Preliminary investigation revealed a silver Toyota Camry, driven by Barry Head (62) of Union City, OH, along with front passenger Tara Bailey (39) of Greenville, was traveling northwest on SR 571 and was in the process of passing the vehicle in front of them, when another vehicle was traveling towards them. Head swerved to get back in his lane of travel and lost control of his vehicle, traveling off the right side of the roadway, colliding with a mailbox and knocking over a utility pole.

Both driver and passenger were transported to Wayne HealthCare for suspected minor injuries.
