TRUCK SLAMS POLE ON EAST AVE

TRUCK ROLLS OVER – DRIVER FLEES
Elyria – The Elyria Police Department is sorting out the details to a single car crash that occurred on East Ave late Thursday night.

Officers were called to the 1200 block of East Ave near the Palm Crest East Nursing home after a truck ran into a utility pole. When Officers arrived they found the truck on its roof on the tree lawn in front of the nursing home – but no occupants.

Witnesses at the nursing home say they didn’t actually witness the crash – just heard the loud boom. When they looked out the window several saw a white male running south towards the apartment complex across the street.

A man came forward about 30 minutes later but was sketchy on the details of the crash. LifeCare Paramedics took him to Elyria Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The investigation into the actual details into the crash continues.

I actually know the man who was in this crash, and he didn't flee the scene. He lives very close to the scene of the accident, and was going to call 911. His roommate held him up to try to stop the bleeding.

The driver did flee the scene; he did not remain on the scene after the crash. By saying he “fled” the scene does not imply that he did anything illegal, it just states the truth.

The definition of “flee”: “To run away often from danger or evil: To hurry towards a place of security”
