Two people are dead and two more are seriously injured after a two-car crash in Elyria Thursday afternoon, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
The crash happened at 3:22 p.m. on State Route 57 at Griswold Road, troopers said.
According to the highway patrol, the crash was caused when a driver in a Nissan Altima with two other passengers failed to stop at a red light on State Route 57 and hit a Toyota Corolla that was turning east onto Griswold Road. Troopers say an Elyria police officer was trying to stop the Nissan just before the crash.
The two passengers in the Nissan, 36-year-old Tanner Smith of Cleveland and 36-year-old Meghan Incorvaia of Wakeman, were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Troopers say the occupants of the car were not wearing seatbelts.
The driver of the Toyota was taken by ambulance to an Elyria hospital with “serious” injuries, the highway patrol said.
The highway patrol said troopers are investigating the crash and no charges have been filed at this time.

This is exactly why we can’t pursue in Missouri. We don’t hold criminals accountable.
I'll bet they won't do that again! Too bad the innocent have to get hurt!
😂
Two dead and one in ICU over a couple "Rocks"? Was it really worth it? One of the deaths was the innocent civilian in the other car. LAME!
Another fool who believes they will not be caught and will get away with their evil
As soon as the officer put his gun down by the door i knew they were gone
Why pursue? This is what happens and innocent people get caught up. So stupid
So exactly what does it accomplish for the cops to chase people?
You have people trapped,car parts all over the road,one car is on fire and deputy dickhead runs up to the car with his gun out pointing at the window,I wonder if he sneaks up to a casket in a funeral home with his gun out to
Was the other car a cyber truck ?
DRIVING RECKLESSLY IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR OTHER VEHICLES PEDESTRIANS WALKING AND WHEN TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE RED ON A INTERSECTION TRAFFIC ZONE IS VEHICLES PASSING THROUGH THE RIGHT OF WAY ACCIDENTS ARE LEADING CAUSES OF INJURIES AND DEATHS HOW CAN ANYONE THINKING OF SPEEDING VIOLATIONS AND ENTERING INTERSECTIONS DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS IS NOT IN DANGERS OF ANY SITUATION POLICE FLASHING LIGHTS IS PULLING OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF ROADS TO STOP NEVER ENDANGERING LIVES WITH SPEEDING PURSUITS
I knew that was the road I took to Cedar Point when I got off the turnpike coming from West Virginia. It looked very familiar.
Oh now the wiggies have to look like heros saving lives {or trying to save lives} on an accident that the wiggies themselves caused.
The cops caused this
FAFO
Couldn't even see what happened, only the aftermath.. cops were more concerned about making a bust than the driver of the other car, almost t-boned that Prius, couldn't break the glass in the suspect vehicle – not their best moment lol.. glad I wasn't on the road there during that risky and unnecessary pursuit
People would rather risk lives than go to jail
This is why I always stop properly at stop signs as In sometimes giving myself even an extra few seconds.
I bet they were k factors.
“Are you okay?” *Officer wielding pistol over his speeding ticket pursuit asks*
Hopefully it wasn't the innocent public that was hurt!
Drugs
End
All

Does such "hunts" make any sense. This could have ended far more worse. Yes you got them now, but all that risk. Try to get them when it is without all this crazyness.
There comes a point that pursuits should end.. this is tragic ending that shouldn’t have happened
Are they going to check the other car ?
Glad it was the criminals that weee killed rather than the innocent motorist
