Two people died and another person was injured in a one-vehicle crash that occurred on North Blanchard Street in Findlay Tuesday afternoon.

According to a release from the Findlay Police Department, 30-year-old Devante McBeth was driving south on Blanchard approaching the intersection of Crystal Avenue when, according to a front seat passenger, he suffered a medical emergency.

McBeth and a back seat passenger, identified as 31-year-old Breanna Garvey, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The front seat passenger, 38-year-old Christopher Hook, was transported to Blanchard Valley Hospital with serious injuries.

All of the occupants are from Fostoria.
