COLLISION ON E 28th IN LORAIN

Lorain – An early morning two-car crash in Lorain Sunday sent three people to the hospital.

Miguel Fernandez said that he was traveling west on 28th Street when he saw the crash. “The car was east on 28th and had the green light at Pearl – as soon as they were coming through the intersection this white truck just comes out of nowhere and slams into them.”

The driver of the white Ford Escape was southbound on Pearl coming out from the area of the Steel Mill at the time of the crash.

Fernandez said that at the point of impact the sound was like an explosion. “When they crash it was like BOOM! Just a big old bang and then pieces of the car were just flying – both car like went up into the air and then when they came down the white truck got turned to where it is now. But the debris was just flying everywhere and then like two seconds later the cops were all over this.”

LifeCare Paramedics treated three people at the scene, two from the Fifth Avenue and the driver of the Escape. All three were transported to Community Health Partners Emergency Room.

Police say that the driver of the Ford Escape will be charged with Failure to Yield at this time and that additional charges are likely.
