Two people were killed Saturday morning when their vehicle collided with a train just east of Fulton County Road 11 in York Township. Family members identified the victims as Chris Butler of Liberty Center and Craig Chadwick, 22, of Delta. Mr. Butler was driving north along a private driveway that crosses the Norfolk-Southern railroad track just before 2 a.m. and failed to stop for a westbound train, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office and some family members.
A 10-year-old boy was mauled severely by his family's pit bull Friday but did not suffer life-threatening injuries, authorities said. The boy's name was unavailable Friday night. He was attacked by the family pit bull when he walked into his home in the 9000 block of Fulton County Road 11 at about 5 p.m. with a computerized baby doll from school, County Dog Warden Peter Skeldon said. "The baby started crying, and when that happened, the pit bull attacked."
One week after releasing a video depicting a violent shootout in a West Toledo bar, police said Friday that two suspects have been identified and charged. The investigation continues to identify others who were involved. Marquese Robbins, 32, whose last known address was 1103 Norwood Ave., was charged with four counts of felonious assault for firing a gun within the Route 66 Kitchen. A known member of the Lucas County Gang, or LCG, Robbins has an extensive criminal record dating to 1998, police said.
After heartbreaking finishes the past two seasons against eventual City League football champion Central Catholic, Whitmer can thank a smothering display of defense for finally getting over the hump. The Panthers hit two big offensive plays, held the visiting Irish to 121 net yards, and survived their one defensive glitch in taking a 14-7 victory before a crowd of 8,000 in a showdown last night at Memorial Stadium.
A 16-year-old boy was shot during a fight Saturday night outside a West Toledo business. The boy, who's name was not released, was taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center, formerly the Medical College of Ohio Hospital, before police arrived. His condition was not available. The boy was shot during a fight in the parking lot of Moe's Market, 4401 Hill Ave., about 10 p.m. Saturday, police said.
Dr. John McBride doesn't need a lab test to tell him a large number of patients filling the waiting room at Franklin Park Pediatrics have swine flu. He knows they do. "This really is like a bad, bad cold with fever and achiness, and the vast majority of people just need Motrin and fluids and rest," Dr. McBride said. "The main reason to go to the doctor would be if you are having difficulty breathing - not coughing - but actual difficulty breathing."
For area music fans weary of the long commute to Detroit, Cleveland, and Columbus for top-draw concerts, the sparkling new Lucas County Arena is supposed to be the venue they've dreamed about. Then Lynyrd Skynyrd canceled what was supposed to be the first music concert at the $105 million facility, and suddenly local music fans wondered if the new arena would be a savior or a sore spot. The question centers on whether the market - and local music fans - will support the kind of top-notch concerts needed to make the arena a success.VIEW THE WEEKEND PHOTO GALLERIES
