AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - A 30-year-old man died in a car accident Thursday evening, after police said he lost control of his vehicle while speeding.
Akron officers said the man was driving a Honda CRV eastbound on E. Cuyahoga Falls Avenue near Corwin Avenue when he rear-ended a Mitsubishi Mirage.
The impact caused the Honda to go off the road, strike two utility poles, and drive on the sidewalk before crashing into a retaining wall in the 600 block of E. Cuyahoga Falls Avenue.
