CRASH WRAP

Time to do a little house cleaning here – Here are several crashes that we’ve shot but haven’t shown you yet.
Carlisle Township – A single car crash early Saturday morning sent one man to the hospital after he rolled his car on LaGrange Road just north of Route 20.

Trooper J.P. Toth of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said that 26-year-old Richard Banks of Sullivan was traveling north on LaGrange road around 3:40 a.m. when he lost control of his car. “Mr. Banks was traveling at a what appears to be a high rate of speed when he said a deer ran out in front of him, although I did not see any evidence of a deer. He went off the right side of the road struck a mailbox, went over a driveway hit a rock then took out a fence and some yard décor. He then struck a utility pole where he twisted the vehicle and rolled it over onto its top.”

Neighbors say that Banks was able to get out of the car on his own and was talking to people as the Medics arrived on scene.

A LifeCare Ambulance that was traveling on LaGrange Road returning from a transport rolled up on the crash and began treating Banks.

Carlisle Township Firefighters responded and assisted LifeCare with Banks and secured the area where the lines were down across the road.

Banks told Toth that he had just left his girlfriends house and believes that he may have dozed off while driving just before the crash.

Toth said that Banks would likely be charged with Failure to Control and Seatbelt. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash according to Toth.

Elyria – A collision between two vans Tuesday afternoon sent one woman and a small child to the hospital. The woman had minor injuries and the child was just shaken up according to Police.

The driver of the silver minivan was north on Hawthorne and was attempting to cross Poplar Street when he drove into the path of the larger van that was traveling east on Poplar.

Police say that the man said he watched as one truck made a right turn onto Hawthorn and thought the coast was clear so he made his way across the intersection. The collision took both vans across the intersection causing front-end damage to the blue van and heavy driver’s side damage to the silver van.

The driver was charged with the Stop Sign violation.
