DEVELOPING STORY
Elyria – Three people were taken to the hospital and an Elyria man was cited Friday evening after crashing through two phone poles and four mailboxes on Parmely Ave.

Police are investigating why 24 year old Ryan Winborn of Elyria lost control of his car Friday night. Winborn was traveling west on Parmely Ave when he went off the right side of the road where he took out numerous mailboxes and two utility poles before coming to rest near a set of railroad tracks.

A woman and child were removed from the car by Elyria Firefighters through the passenger side of the car. While attempting to give care to Winborn he began yelling at them and threatening them if they touched him.

Police quickly stepped in and began trying to calm Winborn to no avail. Officers had to remove Winborn from the driver’s side and struggled to handcuff him. Once handcuffed Winborn was escorted by Police to the Ambulance where LifeCare Paramedics treated him and then transported him, along with his two passengers, to Elyria Memorial Hospital.

While conducting an inventory on Winborn’s car they found two handguns and a rifle in the trunk of the car. Winborn told Police at the scene that he purchased the guns locally and legally.
