HUSBAND AND WIFE COLLIDE

HUSBAND FLOWN TO METRO

IN CRITICAL CONDITION

North Ridgeville – A man was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland this afternoon after he collided with his wife on Westfield Drive in North Ridgeville.

Police are investigating the crash at this hour – but residents say that the couple had been fighting for about a month leading up to today’s crash. Witnesses tell us that the husband had left the home to take an item to the couple’s storage building earlier in the day.

As he was returning home his wife, along the couple’s small child, was backing her Durango out of their driveway – when she saw him coming down the street on his motorcycle she stopped and put the truck in park. The man then apparently tried to go around the driver’s side of the SUV and struck the driver’s side tire. The man and the bike went down and began sliding.

The bike ended up on a driveway next door while he ended up lying on the grassy area of the tree lawn near the driveway.

Neighbors rushed to him – one tells us that at first the wife began yelling at the husband until she realized how serious the situation was. Neighbors helped keep the man still until Police arrived and took over. They said a short time later Firefighters arrived and began treating the man.

The injuries were so severe that Firefighters dispatched Metro LifeFlight to meet them at a nearby field at Avon Belden Road and Sugar Ridge Road.

Olmstead Township Fire Department assisted North Ridgeville Fire in setting up a landing zone for Metro.

Police are still putting the pieces of this crash together – as details become available we will bring them to you.
