Cleveland, OH (January 5, 2025) – An injury multi-car crash occurred on the eastbound lanes of I-90E/DMC at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Sunday involving four cars. The crash resulted in injuries to at least one person, and authorities quickly responded to the scene.
According to the Cleveland Police Department, the incident involved four cars. One of them lost control and collided with the others, causing a chain reaction. Emergency responders, including paramedics and fire department personnel, worked swiftly to extricate drivers and passengers from the wreckage.
The injured were transported to the nearest hospital via ambulance for treatment. The severity of the injuries has not yet been confirmed. Police are still investigating the cause of the crash, but it is believed that icy road conditions may have contributed to the accident.
The fire department assisted in securing the scene and clearing debris from the roadway, allowing for a safe flow of traffic once the area was cleared. The police controlled traffic flow to minimize congestion, and detours were in place for several hours.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
