The driver of the Elantra, a 66-year-old woman from Rome, Ohio, was injured and was transported to a Geauga County hospital, according to Grimm. She may need to be moved to a Cleveland hospital for more treatment.
Local schools delay due to fog
Officials said they do not believe the crash was due to fog.
'We just have to remind motorists to pay attention to traffic signs, check both directions and make sure intersections are clear before they proceed,' Grimm told FOX 8 News.
The Chardon Fire Department said it's working with Claridon Township trustees, the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Geauga County of Engineer's Office on a plan for changes at this intersection. An investigation is ongoing.
