HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County – A Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy looking for burglary suspects was hit by another car while inside his cruiser at Shoup Mill Road and North Main Street just around 9 a.m. today, Jan. 28.

There were no serious injuries in the accident, said sheriff’s Maj. Scott Landis, who added the incident is being investigated as “a failure to yield.” It was not clear who was at fault in the accident, Landis said.

Three vehicles were involved in the accident. The sheriff deputy was traveling north on Sue Ann Boulevard with his lights on when two other vehicles, both traveling east on Shoup Mill, struck his vehicle, said Chris Colbert of the Ohio State Patrol.

“At this point, we are still sorting out the details,” Colbert said.

No one was removed to a local hospital and a portion of intersection was shut down because of the crash, Landis said.
