Erie County, OH (September 28, 2024) – A serious motor vehicle accident involving six cars occurred on Perkins Avenue near the intersection of Hayes Avenue in Perkins Township on Friday evening. The incident was reported just before 8:15 PM, prompting a response from local emergency services.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash began when a Cadillac ATS driven westbound by a 38-year-old woman from Sandusky collided with the rear of a Toyota Tacoma driven by a man from California. Following the initial impact, the Cadillac continued westbound, veering into the center lane and striking a Ford driven by a 21-year-old Sandusky resident.
The chain reaction continued as the Cadillac spun into a vehicle driven by a resident of Mansfield, while the Ford collided with two additional vehicles, one driven by an 80-year-old resident of Huron and another by a 32-year-old from Castalia.
