Driver Seriously Injured in State Route 8 Crash

Firefighters use Jaws of Life to free driver involved in major accident on Friday.

Stow firefighters and paramedics wasted no time on Friday when rescuing a man who was pinned inside his car after a major accident on State Route 8 Northbound. Details of the crash remain unclear, but according to Stow Fire Capt.

Questions Remain After Man Falls From Route 8 Overpass

Todd Vaughn, 42, of Cuyahoga Falls, suffered serious injuries from the fall and is not yet well enough to be questioned by police.

  Todd Vaughn, 42, of Cuyahoga Falls, is still being treated for serious injuries at Akron City Hospital after falling from a State Route 8 overpass last weekend.

Last Saturday at 1:15 a.m., police got a call that Vaughn was walking along State Route 8. Before officers could reach him, he reportedly …
