A 60-year-old Brown County man was transported to the hospital on Aug. 1 after the vehicle he was riding in was run off the road by a truck.

Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy Austin Schonfeld responded to the crash at 1170 Clay Lick Road just after noon. The driver, 58-year-old Catherina Couch, told police she was driving south on Clay Lick Road when a truck ran her Pontiac off the road, an accident report states.

After the Pontiac left the road the west side of the road, it continued sliding through a nearby yard at an angle before striking a tree on the rear driver’s side. It came to a rest facing northwest, Schonfeld reported.

The truck the driver described was not at the scene.

Couch’s passenger, Charles Couch, was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital for pain in his shoulder and upper arm.

It was marked “unknown” if the driver and passenger were wearing seat belts.

The vehicle was towed from the scene, according to the report.
