State Route 87 is open following a two-car crash that sent both drivers to the hospital.

Shane Hall, 30, of Rootstown, was driving a 2004 GMC Sierra pickup truck east on Route 87 when Kenny Brown, 30, of Orwell, who was driving a 2001 Dodge Ram van in the opposite direction, crossed the center lane and hit the truck, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
