DARKE CO., Ohio -- Two people from Troy were seriously injured when
their SUV collided with a semi truck Saturday morning in Darke County.
At about 7:40 a.m., the SUV pulled into the intersection of Hogpath

extremely heavy at the time of the crash,” said Sgt. Steve Royer of the
Darke County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies identify the driver as David C. Dorsey, 20, and his passenger
Shanna M. Myers, 28, were taken by Miami Valley Hospital’s MICU’s
(Mobile Intensive Care Unit). CareFlight was called to the scene, but

Dorsey is in critical condition at MVH, Myers is listed in stable
condition. The truck driver, Dale T. Lambeth, 60, of Eaton, was not
injured.
A neighbor, Darlene Delk, awaken by the crash said, “It sounded like a

the density of the fog.
The crash remains under investigation.
