Intersection crash

A Portland teen ’s vehicle struck a Ridgeville woman’s car at the intersection of county roads 250 West and 800 South about 10:33 a.m. Monday.

Angel L. Sewell, 17, was driving her 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera south on county road 250 West as she approached its intersection with county road 800 South. Sewell told police she wasn’t familiar with the area and didn’t notice the stop sign. At the same time, 59-year-old Annette M. Wall was driving her 2024 Kia Sportage west on county road 800 South near the intersection. (There isn’t a stop at the intersection for traffic on county road 800 South.) Sewell drove into the intersection at the same time as Wall, causing the vehicles to collide.

Sewell lost control of her car and it went into a ditch on the southwest side of the road. Wall also lost control of her car and drove into a field on the northwest side of the road.

Damage is estimated between $5,000 and $10,000. Sewell’s vehicle was towed.
