AKRON, Ohio — A crash that knocked down several utility poles and closed a section of a major road in Akron led police to a 2-year-old girl who apparently was left home in Barberton."It's being investigated in that manner as an OVI or alcohol-related crash," said Lt. Michael Miller.According to witnesses, the driver crashed into two telephone poles, knocking them down, and also took out a street sign and a stop sign.
Body camera video provided to News 5 shows an officer was reluctant to make movements on the roadway, unsure if any of the wires were live. After striking the poles, the driver of the car crashed through a fence in a neighbor's yard. Witnesses were able to get a 1-year-old child out of the wreckage. The mother, who was entrapped, was pulled out by rescue crews. They were both taken to hospitals with minor injuries," police said.
