WORTHINGTON — The conditions of two members of a high school water polo team injured in a fatal northwest Ohio crash that also injured two other team members and their mother and killed the woman’s 19-year-old daughter have been upgraded.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Monday that the the conditions of Samantha Fink, 15, and Sydney Zullich, 14, were upgraded from critical to serious over the weekend. The newspaper reports the other two students and their mother remain in critical condition after Friday’s crash.
Hundreds of students and parents came together at the school Saturday night to hold candles and tearfully remember Courtney Fisher, who was killed in the crash.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office says Vicki Fisher, 45, was driving the van carrying members of the Worthington Kilbourne High School water polo team from central Ohio to a tournament when the van collided with a semitrailer in northwestern Ohio, south of Toledo, killing Fisher’s daughter, Courtney, a recent Kilbourne graduate. Authorities say Fisher failed to yield at the intersection.
Vicki Fisher, her 17-year-old daughter Betsy and her 14-year-old daughter Melanie were injured in the crash.
