EYES ON THE ROAD PLEASE

Sheffield Township – With the nice weather here, hopefully to stay, this crash in Sheffield Township should serve as a reminder to PAY ATTENTION while on the roadways.

Even though it was a low speed, 3-car collision, Sheffield Township Firefighters took one driver to the hospitals for injuries she received in the rear-ender Friday afternoon on Route 254 just east of West River Road. Elyria Township was called for mutual aid assistance but the other victims decided to refuse treatment or transport.

One neighbor said she sees this all the time in this area. “They just aren’t paying attention, they are on their cell phones or talking to one another and think that just because it is not real fast traffic through here that they are ok then they slam into someone in front of them. They just need to keep their eyes on the road ahead of them.”

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
