Post by Jim O'Bryan »

An single car accident occurred around 3:50pm when a person driving south on Riverside Dr./St Route 237 loss control of their car during a possible medical episode.

While the accident is still under investigation, it was overheard by a neighbor at the scene that she "suffered dizziness."

Police and Fire were quickly at the accident.

They move the woman to the stretcher. You can see the arc the car took.

Considering this car took out two telephone poles and a fire hydrant, it held up pretty well.

As always thank you Lakewood Police and Fire Departments for amazing service.

Kufner Towing was on the way when I left so I would imagine Riverside will be back open, if they fixed the wires.

One of the witnesses mentioned, they heard the girl mention, she was headed to a funeral.

Today, everyone was lucky, hopefully she checked out alright and insurance will cover.
