NORTHWOOD, Ohio – Authorities in Ohio say a driver was trying to switch seats with a passenger when their van crashed and rolled over, injuring 10 teens from Michigan.

The State Highway Patrol says the crash happened early Tuesday on Interstate 75 near Toledo while the group was coming home from Cedar Point amusement park.

Two of the passengers were thrown from the van and in critical condition Tuesday. A third person in the van suffered serious injuries while the seven others were treated at a Toledo hospital.

Most of the teens are from the cities of Howell and Brighton, north of Ann Arbor.

Troopers say the driver was wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash.
