Ashland County, OH — Three individuals were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of State Route 511 and County Road 40 late this afternoon.
The crash occurred around 5:17 p.m. when a westbound 2014 Toyota Corolla, driven by Christine Abrahamsen, 68, of Lakewood, Ohio, failed to stop at the intersection. The vehicle struck a northbound 2020 Chevrolet Malibu driven by 19-year-old Antony Januzzi of Amherst, Ohio.
