Ada's latest news

The Hardin County sheriff's office is investigating a two-vehicle injury crash that occurred shortly after 1 p.m. on Jan. 23 at the intersection of State Route 309 East and County Road 175.

The preliminary investigation indicates that Corey Chrisman, 24, of Kenton pulled from County Road 175 into the path of a semi livestock hauler, driven by Garth Pearson, 28, of Coldwater. The Chrisman auto came to rest off the south side of 309.

Ken Collins captured Ada winter wildlife on his camera eariler this week. A blue jay and squirrel were dining out in 20-degree weather. But at least the sun was out. It looks like corn is on the menu.
