LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio — Two drivers were seriously injured in a three-vehicle crash in Penfield Township in Lorain County on Tuesday according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers were called to the scene of a crash that happened on State Route (SR) 301 approximately a half mile south of SR 18. Upon arrival, troopers found two men injured from the crash, 48-year-old Scott Conaway and 19-year-old Antonio Perez both sustained injuries serious enough to be transported to Elyria University Hospitals.
The third driver, 42-year-old George Slaughter, did not sustain any injuries.
An investigation into the incident revealed that a truck driven by Slaughter and a flat bed tow truck driven by Conaway were traveling northbound on SR 301.
A pickup truck driven by Perez was traveling southbound on SR 301 when witnesses say Perez traveled left of center, sideswiped Slaughter's truck and hit Conaway's vehicle head-on. All three vehicles were disabled due to the crash.
Highway patrol troopers said that alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the incident, but fatigue may have played a role.
No additional information was given on the health status of Conaway and Perez at this time.
