ROCKY RIVER, OHIO
Authorities are working to identify a person killed in a
fiery overnight car crash in Rocky River.
The driver was speeding east on Lake Road about 3:30 a.m.
and lost control of the BMW and ran off the road at Cornwall Road, Ohio
State Highway Patrol Lt. Antonio Matos said.
The car struck a concrete wall, spun around, crashed into a
home and flipped upside down, then burst into flames, Matos said.
A male is listed as the car owner, but Matos said the body
was too badly burned for investigators to determine if the driver was a man or
a woman.
One person inside the home at the time of the accident was
unharmed. The impact of the crash left cracks in the home's outside wall, and
the meter box and utility wires connected the house were destroyed, Matos said.
Investigators do not know what caused the driver to lose
control of the car, or how fast the car was traveling. Troopers will recreate
the scene of the accident Friday morning.
The car's charred, mangled body sat on a flatbed tow truck
in the parking lot of Bearden's Diner Friday as crews cleaned up debris from
the yard.
The driver will not do that again. RIP.
