∼VERMILION — David Ryan Kelm, 17, of Vermilion, was killed late Sunday night and three people were injured in a three-vehicle crash in Vermilion Township.
According to the State Highway Patrol Sandusky post, Kelm died of injuries sustained in the 10:36 p.m. collision on State Route 60 near Darrow Road.
Police said Allison Priess, 20, of Vermilion was driving her pick-up truck north on Route 60 when it collided with the rear end of a car driven by Brittany Fetter, 16, of Vermilion, which was stopped at Darrow Road.
