An accident that occurred Saturday night around 6:10 p.m. in Van Wert is being investigated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Officials say that Cody Madaj was driving eastbound on US-30, when he attempted to make a turn onto State Route 49 and was cut off by a van driven by Jon Smith, 45.
After Smith hit the car driven by Madaj, his van proceeded to hit another car stopped at a stop sign. This sent both Smith and the other vehicle driven by Doughlas Wierville, 57, into a ditch off of the road.
Eight people in total were taken to the hospital. Three of those have since been released. As of now there is no further update as to the condition of the others.
