A St. Marys man remained in serious condition Monday afternoon after a four-wheeler crash shortly before 9 p.m. Friday on Sandkuhl Road.
Christopher Freewalt, 33, 04852 Vogel Road, was taken by CareFlight from the scene to St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima, where he remained Monday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
A 12-year-old passenger on the four-wheeler, Cole Kroeger, 05066 Sandkuhl Road, St. Marys, was treated and released for injuries at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys.
Kroeger was wearing a helmet and Freewalt was not when they hit a dog running across the road, according to a Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol report.
The report indicates Freewalt driving the Honda 700XX east on Sandkuhl Road near Ohio 66, when it struck the dog. The four-wheeler then overturned, ejecting both the driver and passenger.
The dog was killed and the four-wheeler disabled.
The road Freewalt was traveling on was dark and not lit where the crash occurred.
