Wrong directions had First Responders searching for two accidents in Youngstown
YOUNGSTOWN - Imprecise directions forced Youngstown Police, Firefighters, and an ambulance crew to search for two traffic accidents late Thursday morning.
A 9-1-1 caller reported that a van had overturned along northbound Interstate 680 at around 10:50 a.m.
After looking for the crash, EMT's said they found the accident along the Himrod Interchange leading to I-680.
They found the Jeep on its side in the grass. No one was injured.
While that was still going on, someone reported that a truck ran into two utility poles at Glenwood Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard at around 11 a.m.
Instead, police found the accident along Hillman Street between Indianola and Princeton.
Wires were down, cutting power to 326 homes and businesses on the South Side.
The utility estimated that power would be restored by 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
21 News is working to find out if anyone was injured in the second crash.
