CHAMPION

A Champion woman and Howland man were injured in an accident at 10:15 p.m. Wednesday when they were ejected from the motorcycle on which they were riding.

Jacqueline Nalbach, 49, of Center Street West, was in serious condition at St. Elizabeth Health Center. She was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by Carl McGovney, 47, of Wheelock Drive, who was in stable condition at Trumbull Memorial Hospital.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said McGovney and Nalback were westbound on state Route 305 near Louise Avenue when a car driven by Forrest Sharp, 19, of Greenfield Oval in Champion turned east onto Route 305 from a stop sign on Louise and pulled into the path of the motorcycle.

Neither person on the motorcycle was wearing a helmet.

Sharp and his passenger, Thomas Stroup, 20, of Deer Trail, Cortland, were not injured.
