Dayton Bomb
Squad Responds to Single Car Accident in Darke County
On August 10, 2014 at approximately 2200 hours, the Darke County 911
Center received a call of a single car accident with injury on SR49
near East Alternate SR49. Arcanum Rescue, Arcanum Police
Department, Arcanum Rescue Squad and Darke County Deputies were
dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival it was found that the
occupants from the crashed vehicle were hiding in a field. The
occupants were identified as Trevor Botsford, age 26, his wife Killian
Botsford, age 26, and their two children ages three and one. Mr.
and Mrs. Botsford reported that they were hiding in the field because
they were being followed by another person from Michigan who was trying
to cause harm to them and their children. No visible injuries
were found on any of the occupants, but were transported to Wayne
Health Care to be examined further. Deputies were unable to
locate the person who was reportedly chasing the Botsford Family.
As deputies questioned Ms. Botsford, she reported that there was a bomb
in the car. Deputies approached the vehicle and observed many
exposed wires hanging from the dashboard area and the headliner.
With the assistance of the Arcanum Fire Department a safety perimeter
was established, the immediate area of SR49 and East Alternate SR49 was
closed to all approaching north bound and south bound traffic and the
Dayton PD Bomb Squad was summoned to the scene. The Dayton Bomb
squad examined the vehicle and reported that there were no explosives
present. SR49 was reopened after having been closed for
approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.
This investigation is ongoing.
