UPPER SANDUSKY -- Three people from Upper Sandusky were injured in a two-vehicle accident at 4:51 p.m. Saturday on U.S. 23's Sandusky River bridge, north of County Highway 121 near Upper Sandusky.

Richard O. Clark, 71, Sue A. Clark, 70, and Daniel A. Clark Jr., 16, were northbound on U.S. 23 in a 1999 Chevy Trailblazer when a 2002 Subaru Impreza, driven by Daniel A. Reese, 19, of Mansfield, hit the rear of Richard Clark's vehicle, said Deputy Richard Kesler from the Wyandot County Sheriff's Office.

The Clarks' SUV went off the side of the road and overturned in the median, landing on the driver's side. The car was destroyed.

Richard Clark suffered a neck fracture and broken rib, Kesler reported, and Sue Clark's neck may be fractured. Both were taken by helicopter to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo.

Daniel Clark Jr. has a broken collar bone and was treated and released at Wyandot Memorial Hospital, Kesler said. All were wearing seat belts.

Kesler said Reese was northbound on U.S. 23 when he changed from the left lane to the right lane, swerved off the right side of the road, struck a guardrail on the Sandusky River bridge, then bounced off the guardrail and collided with the Clarks' SUV.

Reese's car went into the median and slid to a stop, Kesler said. Reese was cited for failure to control his vehicle.

Two passengers in the Reese vehicle were not injured.
