OHIO — Police are investigating after a vehicle crashed into a west Toledo business early Wednesday morning, with the driver allegedly fleeing the scene.

According to Toledo police, officers were called to the 200 block of West Alexis Road around 3:11 a.m. on reports that a vehicle had struck a building. When officers arrived, they found an unoccupied vehicle in the front parking lot and a moderate-sized hole in the building’s north-facing wall.

Preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle was traveling westbound on Alexis Road when the driver lost control, struck a small construction area and then slid into the building.

A city building inspector was called to the scene to assess potential structural damage.

Police are investigating the incident as a hit-and-skip. Anyone with information is asked to call or text Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
