DRIVER STRIKES DEER – ROLLS CAR

Elyria – An Elyria woman, 20 year old Kristy Davis, traveling on I-90 early Monday morning was injured after striking a deer and then rolling her car in the median.

Davis told Police that she was traveling eastbound on I-90 near the Black River Bridge when a deer ran out into the roadway striking the right front corner of her car. Davis then went off the left side of the road into the median where her 2007 Grand Am struck a dirt embankment causing it to roll over and throwing Davis from the car.

A Sheffield Village Police Officer was first on scene and assisted Davis until others arrived.

Elyria Township Firefighters were dispatched to the crash after 9-1-1 was given the wrong location by a caller. After Elyria Township couldn’t find it where they were first told they checked more east and found LifeCare Paramedics treating Davis so they assisted until she was transported.

LifeCare Paramedics treated and transported Davis to Elyria Memorial Hospital Emergency Room where they had requested Metro LifeFlight.
