BELPRE — A 2010 Subaru Outback sits along the edge of Ohio 7 near Farson Street in Belpre after being involved in a crash Thursday afternoon. Traffic on Ohio 7 was stopped for a time following the wreck, which also involved two other vehicles. Washington County Sheriff Mark Warden said the crash happened after a deputy tried to stop the Outback, which had been reported stolen from the Dollar General in Reno. A pursuit ensued, ending when the Outback struck two other vehicles at Ohio 7 and Farson Street. The conditions of the vehicles’ drivers and any passengers were not immediately known, although Warden indicated the driver of the Outback had been taken to WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Cengter. Multiple ambulances responded to the scene. Warden said the Ohio State Highway Patrol was investigating the crash. (Photo by Art Smith)
