2 MEN INJURED IN AMHERST CRASH

Amherst – Two Lorain men had to be cut out of a car late Wednesday night after they crashed on North Main near West Martin.

The two men were traveling north on Main when they went off the left side of the road crashing into a large concrete post before coming to rest in a front yard.

Amherst Firefighters had to cut portions of the car apart to free the two men. According to Amherst Fire officials the driver was unresponsive the entire time while the passenger was semi responsive during the rescue operation.

LifeCare Paramedics treated the victims at the scene before transporting to Amherst Hospital Emergency Room. Helicopters were requested for both victims but because of inclement weather they were unable to fly. Both victims were later transported by LifeCare ambulances to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

Amherst Police are investigating the crash.
