Ohio Highway Patrol troopers are looking for a vehicle that possibly triggered the chain of events that led to a bus and car collision on I-75 in which 26 people were injured.

A bus carrying 30 Toledo workers from McComb, Ohio, bakery to Toledo collided with a car at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday on I-75 south of Bowling Green, closing northbound lanes for two hours, according to troopers. Troopers said Wednesday that they were looking for a third vehicle that caused the crash by making an improper lane change.

Nineteen passengers on the bus were injured, including one rider, Marquan Williams, 18, who was airlifted to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, the patrol said. Another bus passenger, Allen Harkins, 22, was taken by an ambulance to St. Vincent. A hospital spokesman said she had no information about patients by those names.

All seven people in the car — including an infant, a toddler, and a 5-year-old — suffered minor injuries, according to the patrol.

Troopers said the bus, driven by Isaac Starks, 49, of Toledo, was northbound on I-75 following a car driven by Sara Lipkins, 26. The Lipkins car slowed for traffic ahead and was struck by the bus.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – Two people were taken to the hospital after a car went off the interstate and flipped several times, before going down an embankment.

Around 7:12 a.m., police received a call for a single-car crash on I-75 at the Emory Road overpass.

According to
statements by the victims, witnesses, and the officers’ investigation,
a 1998 Ford Explorer was traveling south on I-75 in the center lane when driver Melissa Marlow, 39, of Jackboro, had to swerve to the inside lane to avoid hitting a vehicle that was slowing down. 

The Explorer rode the top of a guardrail before flipping several
times. 

The vehicle then travelled down the embankment between the north
and southbound bridges of I-75 over Emory Road. 

The SUV was stopped
from landing on Emory Road by safety barriers at the bottom of the
bridge. 

Both Marlow and her passenger, Christopher Marlow, 38, were wearing their seat belts. 

They were taken to University of Tennessee Medical Center with non-life threatening

The driver of a white sedan will be cited for failure to control a motor vehicle after a crash Friday night that left the car in a clump of bushes off a ramp from Interstate 675 to southbound I-75.

Ohio Highway Patrol troopers on scene said the condition of the road, made slick by late afternoon and evening rains, played a part in the accident reported at about 8:30 p.m.

OSP and a medic unit were sent to the ramp at 675 that leads to southbound I-75 on a report of a car that had traveled off the left side of the road and down an embankment.

The driver was not hurt and a tow truck had to be called in to get the car back onto the road, according to a trooper at the scene.

Authorities in Cobb County have identified a woman accused of robbing a bank, leading police on a high-speed chase and flipping her car on Interstate 75 in metro Atlanta on Monday.

Cobb County police spokesman Mike Bowman said Ancely Faye Green, 39, of Dallas, walked into a SunTrust Bank branch on Mars Hill Road in Acworth just before 11 a.m. Monday morning and handed a teller a note demanding money and saying she had a bomb. Acworth is about 30 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

Green fled with an undisclosed amount of money and later ran from police during an attempted traffic stop, Bowman said. The suspect led police on a chase along I-75 that reached 120 mph and ended when the car she was driving crashed and overturned, police said.

“She wrecked on her own accord. There was no assisting, no pit maneuver, GSP was at a safe distance and she just lost control of the vehicle simply,” Bowman told WGCL-TV.

Green crashed her car in the southbound lanes of I-75 near an exit ramp leading to Mount Paran Road, Bowman said. Authorities determined the woman wasn’t carrying any explosives and took her into custody.
