One person was injured in a single-car crash on South Hotze Road near the Nation Road intersection south of Salem Saturday afternoon.

Initial information from the Marion County Sheriff’s Department indicates 19-year-old Blaid Phillips of Richview Road in Mt. Vernon missed a curve and ran off the road into a field.

Phillips was reportedly taken to Salem Township Hospital for treatment of minor injuries before he was taken to the Marion County Jail.     He was given a notice to appear for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and possession of adult use cannabis in a vehicle.

A passenger, 20-year-old Nathan Odea of the same Richview Road address, was also given a notice to appear for possession of adult use cannabis in a vehicle.

The crash occurred at 2:54 Saturday afternoon.
