Head-on crash sends three to hospital

A woman and two children were sent to the hospital after a crash on Monday.

Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 9000 block of Georgetown Road at about 5:20 p.m. The driver of a truck, 27-year-old Charles Demott, of Columbus, told deputies he believed he fell asleep and crossed the centerline causing a head-on collision. Demott was ejected from his vehicle and suffered only minor injuries. He refused treatment at the scene.

The driver of the other vehicle, 36-year-old Crystal Breeden, of Columbus, and two children complained of pain and were transported to Columbus Regional Hospital. One of the children suffered a broken arm.
