Seven people have been taken to the hospital after a two-car crash on State Route 7 in Yankee Lake.

The accident happened around 3:30 p.m. and involved a pickup truck and a Jeep, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.

As a result, an entire section of traffic both ways on State Route 7 in Yankee Lake was closed. It has since been reopened.

The closure impacts both directions of the road between Yankee Ballroom and Sharpsville Thompson Road, according to OHGO.

Seven people were transported to hospitals with varying injuries, though it’s unclear if any of them were severe.

A county wide mass casualty incident plan was called for by the incident commander and this brought ambulances and aid from the following departments:

  • Brookfield
  • Liberty
  • Fowler
  • Hubbard
  • Johnston
  • Cortland
  • Howland
  • Burghill Vernon
