A Columbiana man has been arrested after being secretly indicted on charges stemming from a traffic crash that seriously injured a woman.

Columbiana Police arrested 63-year-old Christopher Mele last week on a four-count indictment charging him with aggravated vehicular assault, vehicular assault, and OVI.

Police say Mele was driving an SUV that went left of center on State Route 14, running into an oncoming car near County Line Road on August 12.

Both drivers and the 24-year-old woman who was a passenger in the car were taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital.

Mele, who has been released from jail, is scheduled for an arraignment on Thursday.
