OHIO — Two people were killed in a crash Wednesday evening on Ohio State Route 7 near the Solvay plant, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP).
The accident occurred at 6:55 p.m. when a 2016 Lexus RX 350, driven by Eva-Maria Hill, 79, of Marietta, crossed the median into oncoming traffic and collided with a 2018 GMC Yukon.
