An ambulance waits to take one of two injured drivers from the scene of a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Havemann Road and state Route 29. The mishap occurred at 10:07 a.m. Tuesday when John H. Devaney, 61, of Union City, Ind., drove his eastbound 2006 Mack rig through a red light on state Route 29. It struck the 2008 Chevy Impala of Mary J. Wilson, 64, 111 Sandy Beach Way, Celina, who was turning left from Havemann Road. The rig hit the front right car tire sending the vehicle spinning. Wilson was taken to Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys while Devaney went to Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater for treatment. Celina Police cited the truck driver for a red light violation while both disabled vehicles were towed from the scene.
