ALLEN COUNTY — Seat belts made a difference in a crash last week in Allen County.

According to the Allen County Sheriff, swerving to miss a deer, the driver of a Ford F-150 went off the left side of a gravel road and crashed into a tree.

Because the driver was wearing a seat belt, the only injury sustained was on the inside of the arm from the steering wheel airbag.

Seat belts do save lives.
