GREEN, Ohio — The situation began with 911 calls around 2:45 p.m. Thursday reporting an Acura swerving in the southbound lanes of I-77 near Arlington Road.

In details released Friday morning about the crash, authorities say the vehicle struck the hospital and slammed into an exam room that was occupied by a female patient and her husband. Both were treated for injuries.
The driver, a 37-year-old Canton man, was taken to Akron City Hospital with undisclosed injuries. He’s facing charges pending the outcome of the investigation.
Authorities say suspected drugs were found inside the vehicle.
