THE DIRTY PART OF THE JOB

If you were traveling along Route 57 between Gulf and Abbe Monday afternoon you might have been wondering what all the fuss was about with all the Emergency vehicles.A woman driving along Route 57 believed that she saw a young child (about 10 years old) jump into the storm sewer along the north side of the road.

Elyria Police responded to the scene first and yelled down to the child. Police then called for the Fire Department to send someone down to check on the child.

Elyria Fire Department Lt. Norris said they dropped a 25 foot ladder into the hole, tied off a Firefighter and sent him down. The Firefighter searched through the muck in the sewer running under Route 57 leading north to the turnpike and south to the St. Jude’s area but found nothing.
