Early this afternoon (7th) at 12:38, the Huron County Sheriff responded to Elkton Rd. between McAlpin Rd and Bach Rd in Grant Twp, which was the scene of a two-vehicle injury crash. However, one of the vehicles continued without stopping, either intentionally or accidentally.

She was later transferred to an out-of-county hospital with serious injuries.
