"SHEFFIELD TWP. — A crash at state routes 57 and 254 claimed the life of an elderly woman Friday night.
Wilma Sebastian, 82, of North Ridgeville, was a passenger in a Ford Windstar travelling east on Route 254 that collided with a box truck headed north on Route 57 about 7:10 p.m. She was taken to EMH Regional Medical Center with severe injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Ohio Highway Patrol is still investigating who was at fault.
“There’s some conflicting statements as to who was on green or red,” said Sgt. Paul March, of the patrol’s Elyria post.
The impact caved in the passenger side of the Windstar and sent it careering into the far right westbound lane of state Route 254, where it came to a stop. The box truck received minor visible damage.
Gregory Hudnall, 55, of Elyria, was the driver of the van and Sebastian’s son-in-law, according to March. He had cuts on his hands from broken glass but refused treatment at the scene. Adele Hudnall, 53, also a passenger in the van, was transported to EMH with non life-threatening injuries, according to the patrol.
Both Hudnalls and Sebastian were wearing seat belts.
The driver of the truck, Danny Morrison, 51, also of Elyria, was taken to Community Regional Medical Center about three hours after the crash for a possible head injury, March said.
Route 57 northbound and Route 254 east and westbound were reduced to one lane while the crash was investigated.
The crash remains under investigation."
