COVENTRY TWP.: The exit ramp from U.S. Route 224 east to Interstate 77 south was closed for about three hours Tuesday night after a one-vehicle crash.
A 68-year-old Springfield Township man operating a 2005 Buick drove off the side of the road at 8 p.m., struck a guardrail and overturned, trapping him inside, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said.
The man, who was not identified by name, was extricated and taken to Summa Akron City Hospital with serious injuries.
Alcohol appears to be a factor in the accident and the investigation is continuing, authorities said.
