Grafton Village – A crash on Route 83 in Grafton Village has left a child dead and a mother in critical condition.


Troopers say that a KIA was traveling north on Route 83 when it passed a vehicle. After passing it attempted to get back into its lane and went off the right side of the road. The driver then tried to get back on the roadway but lost control and slammed head on into a southbound Honda Civic.


In the Honda Civic was a Mother, Father and two children. One child was killed instantly upon impact and the child’s mother, who was in the passenger seat, was in critical condition. The child’s father was the driver and there was one other child in the car at the time, the conditions on the father and other child are not known at this time. The father was speaking with Troopers at the scene however.


Multiple Departments assisted Grafton Village in treating the victims and transporting them to local hospitals.


The Ohio State Highway Patrol is leading up the investigation and will issue more information later today.
