CRASH SENDS ONE TO METRO

Carlisle Township – One Elyria man flown to Cleveland after a single car crash on East River Road near Fuller early Monday morning.

Trooper Dave Dylag of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said that 36 year old Marlon Charley of Elyria was driving southbound on East River Road when he lost control of his car on the curve near the church. Charley then over-corrected and went off the left side of the roadway where he struck a utility pole.

As the car left the roadway it was still traveling south but the front of the car was pointing northeast. The rear passenger side of the car took most of the impact. The car spun and ended up in a front yard on East River.

Neighbors say when they first approached the vehicle neither of the two occupants were able to speak but as Troopers and Paramedics arrived they were both responsive and talking.

Carlisle Township Firefighters and LifeCare Paramedics treated both the driver and passenger at the scene and then transported them to Elyria Memorial Hospital. A helicopter was dispatched to EMH for Charley due to a head injury.

Dylag said that the investigation into the crash is ongoing and that charges are pending.
