An Urbana woman has died following a two-vehicle accident in Allen Township Monday night.
Union County Sheriff’s Office deputies and the Multi-County Crash Investigation Team are investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred in the 20000 block of Collins Road.
At approximately 5:12 p.m. Monday, the Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call reporting a two-vehicle, head-on crash with serious injuries on Collins Road.
Deputies and units from the Allen Township Fire Department and the Marysville Fire Department responded to the scene and found a 1999 Honda Accord that was traveling northeast on Collins Road had struck a 2017 Honda Accord traveling southwest on the same road.
