Logan County Sheriff’s deputies responded to two weather-related crashes over the weekend as snow-covered roads created hazardous conditions.

On Saturday evening, just before 5:00, a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by 23-year-old Carter Mitchell of Albany, Indiana, went off the right side of State Route 274 near Township Road 95.

The vehicle hit a utility pole and a telephone junction box.

Mitchell was not injured and was cited for failure to control his vehicle.

Then, shortly before 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, deputies were called to County Road 153 following a crash involving a 2006 Ford Fusion driven by 19-year-old Katrina Penhorwood of North Lewisburg.

According to reports, Penhorwood went off the right side of the road and collided with a fence.

She was treated for possible injuries and cited for failure to control her vehicle.

Her car was towed from the scene.
