HURON, Ohio — Five people were seriously injured in a head-on collision in Huron Thursday evening.

The incident occurred just after 6:30 p.m. on US 6, just east of Rye Beach Rd.

According to an accident report, Anthony Swan, 19, of Sandusky, was headed eastbound on US 6 with three passengers in his car. At the same time, Ian Bowers, 30, of Vickery, was headed westbound on the same road.
