According to a Sidney Police crash report, Colin Riley Hanna, 17, of Sidney, was taken to Dayton by CareFlight after he was first transported to Wilson Health.

Sidney Police Sgt. Timothy Kennedy’s press release on Tuesday said officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Arrowhead Drive at 7:42 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, where they found a vehicle had struck a skateboarder who was in the roadway.

The crash report indicates Dakia Danielle Welch, 30, 827 Arrowhead Drive, Apt H, was traveling westbound in the 600 block of Arrowhead Drive. Welch did not see Hanna, who was also traveling west on Arrowhead Drive in the roadway, when she hit the skateboarder, causing serious injury.
