Green - A hospital visit went wrong Thursday afternoon for one couple at Summa Health in Green, near Akron.
The Summit County Sheriff's Office says at approximately 2:45 p.m., they responded to 911 calls in the City of Green for reports of an impaired driver. The callers stated that a white Acura was swerving in the southbound lanes on I-77 near Arlington Road.
When deputies arrived, they found the vehicle had driven off of the interstate, down an embankment, through a fence, and onto the property of Summa Health. The vehicle struck the hospital, went through the exterior wall, and eventually entered an examination room.
