SENECA COUNTY, Ohio — Two women were seriously injured as the result of a collision in Seneca County on Sunday morning

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says 68-year-old Dorothy Cooper from Fostoria was driving east on County Rd. 592 around 9:35 a.m. when she failed to yield at the stop sign at County Rd. 31.

At the same time, 42-year-old Amanda Benavides, from Burgoon, OH was driving south on 31.

Troopers say when Cooper pulled into the path of Benavides her care was struck on the driver’s side.

Both cars overturned as a result of the crash and Benavides’ car went into a house.

Cooper had to be taken by air ambulance to a hospital in Toledo while Benavides was taken to a hospital in Tiffin.

Police don’t think alcohol played a role in the crash.
