CLEVELAND — Two men and one woman are dead following a wrong-way crash late Sunday along I-90 in Cleveland.

Police say the driver of a 2012 Honda Civic entered I-90 East from the West 25th Street exit ramp traveling in the wrong direction.

The Honda then collided head-on with a 2016 Toyota Carolla near the West 85th Street overpass around 11:45 p.m.

Those who died in the crash include:

- 58-year-old man: Driver of the Honda. Identified as Michael Kantos of Cleveland.

- 19-year-old man: Driver of the Toyota. Name not yet released.

- 20-year-old woman: Passenger in the Toyota. Identified as Cidney Nicole of Bedford Heights.

Two others who were inside the Toyota -- both 19-year-old women -- suffered critical injuries in the accident. They were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center.

Police say alcohol may have been a contributing factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.

I-90 was closed for several hours as a result of the wreck.
