​

Good morning, Preble County. The flashing lights of emergency vehicles illuminated State Route 725 Saturday night as multiple crews rushed to a crash scene near Fairhaven College Corner Road. While details remain limited about the collision that prompted several medical units to respond, this incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly our normal weekend routines can be interrupted by the unexpected.

In more uplifting community news, Eaton's Main Street Aquatic Center is making a splash with inclusivity through its upcoming Sensory Swim Days on July 27 and August 3. These specially designed sessions will offer children with sensory sensitivities a calm swimming environment with reduced noise and limited capacity. Meanwhile, a tense situation in New Westville concluded safely when 26-year-old Trenton Wintrow surrendered to the Darke County SWAT Team after barricading himself inside a home for over two hours on Wednesday.
