REAR ENDER ON SOUTH ABBE

Elyria – A driver simply not paying attention was the cause of a two car crash that sent both drivers to the emergency room.

Police say that 18 year old John Akers was stopped on South Abbe Road waiting to turn left onto Hampton when 65 year old Emelia Clark, who was also traveling north on South Abbe, struck Akers from behind.

LifeCare Paramedics treated and transported both Akers and Clark to Elyria Memorial, both with minor injuries.

Akers was driving a 2003 Chevy Cavalier that received moderate damage to the rear of his car. Clark’s 2003 4 door Mercury received heavy front end damage.

Witnesses told Police that they watched Clark strike Akers and said she never hit the brakes.

Clark was cited for Assured Clear Distance Ahead.
