3 Killed in Avon Car Accident
The late-night crash on westbound I-90 just before Lear Nagle Road closed part of the interstate in Lorain County.
Three people were killed in a car crash on westbound I-90 in Avon on November 8, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
How the Avon I-90 Crash Unfolded
The crash was reported shortly before 11 p.m. Sunday in the westbound lanes, just before Lear Nagle Road. Three vehicles were involved. Avon Lake police said a gray Tesla struck a red 2014 Chevy Cruze along with a black 2019 Chevy Traverse. According to Avon Lake police, the male occupant of the Tesla and the two female occupants of the Cruze were pronounced dead at the scene. Names had not been released.
What the Highway Patrol Investigation Involves
The Ohio State Highway Patrol Post 47 is handling the crash investigation, which remains open. The Ohio Department of Transportation said westbound I-90 stayed blocked just beyond Crocker Road while emergency crews worked, and drivers were told to find another route. Avon Lake police said they will share more details as they become available.
People often hear very little from investigators in the first days after a crash. That quiet is normal while evidence is gathered, and it does not mean the case has stalled.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Ohio usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
