PINE TWP, Mercer County — A Wednesday crash left an Ohio woman dead.

Darlene L. Wilson, 52, of Medina, Ohio, was killed in the crash, which took place about 4 p.m. on Route 208 about a quarter-mile west of Centertown Road.

According to state police, William Lee Mercer, 49, of Seaford, Del., entered Route 208 from a private driveway west in a Chevrolet C10. Randall Lee Smith, 60, of Grove City in a Chevrolet Canyon was coming up behind Mercer’s vehicle, and steered into the eastbound lane of the road, hitting a Polaris Slingshot driven by Peter J. Nepodal, 69, of Medina, Ohio.

Wilson was a passenger in Nepodal’s vehicle. She was taken to the Grove City Medical Center by ambulance, where she was pronounced dead.

Trooper Brett Stivason said that preliminary reports indicate that Smith steered into the eastbound lane to avoid striking Mercer, but he said it could take some time before that is confirmed.

Stivason said the two vehicles that struck each other suffered heavy damage.

Nepodal was taken to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Youngstown by helicopter with “major injuries.” Smith suffered minor injuries, according to Stivason.

Stivason said the investigation of the crash continues, and it is unclear if any driver would be charged. He also said that it does not appear that speed was a factor.
