Doylestown, OH (August 4, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle crash near the intersection of N. Mt Eaton Road and Akron Road sent multiple people to the hospital Sunday, with authorities reporting that a third vehicle may have fled the scene.
The Ohio State Patrol responded to the accident, which occurred near Doylestown and involved at least seven individuals needing medical evaluation. Emergency medical services from multiple agencies, including Marshallville and Rittman Fire Departments, were requested for mutual aid due to the number of injured victims.

The full extent of injuries has not been disclosed, but several patients were transported from the scene for further treatment.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the number of vehicles officially involved or released the identities of those hurt. The crash remains under investigation.

Multi-Vehicle Collisions and Hit-and-Runs in Ohio
Crashes involving multiple vehicles and large numbers of injuries, like the one near N. Mt Eaton Rd and Akron Rd, can quickly overwhelm emergency response systems and create complex investigative challenges—especially when a hit-and-run element is suspected.
In this case, the presence of seven injured parties and a suspected fleeing vehicle adds urgency to both the medical response and the law enforcement investigation. The description of a third vehicle leaving the scene—an orange or rust-colored sedan—suggests the possibility of additional contributing factors, such as distracted driving, speeding, or reckless behavior.
Multi-patient incidents require coordinated triage efforts, and mutual aid is often essential in rural or suburban areas where local EMS resources may be limited. The decision to transport several individuals for further evaluation reflects concern over the potential severity of the crash’s impact.
Hit-and-run crashes not only leave victims physically injured, but also emotionally distressed and legally vulnerable. Without the ability to identify the fleeing driver, injured individuals and their families may face challenges in pursuing insurance claims or justice. Law enforcement relies on public assistance, witness reports, and area surveillance footage to track down those responsible.
For those involved in a serious crash—whether as a victim or witness—timely reporting and seeking legal and medical guidance are key steps toward resolution and recovery.
