Lorain County, OH : One person killed and other two people injured in three-vehicle crash Route 20 on Friday, August 21 2015
A three-vehicle crash killed an Elyria man and injured two other local residents, despite all of them wearing their seat belts.
Hubert H. Vaughan, 48, of Elyria, was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the Ohio Highway Patrol’s Elyria post, Vaughan was driving a 2001 Ford Focus east on U.S. Route 20 at 3:28 p.m. Friday. A 2008 Jeep Compass, driven by Tami Ford, 53, of Elyria, was traveling west on the same roadway but stopped in traffic. A 2000 Dodge 150, driven by Michael McFarland, 43, of Vermilion, also was traveling west on Route 20 and struck the Jeep from behind. The Dodge then went left of center, striking Vaughan’s vehicle head on before overturning on its side. Vaughan’s vehicle went off the right side of the roadway.
Troopers stated that Vaughan had to be removed from his vehicle by the Wellington Fire Department. Ford sustained minor injuries. McFarland received “incapacitating injuries” and had to be freed from his vehicle. He was flown to Cleveland’s MetroHealth Medical Center.
