Charlton Wallace, 26, of Toledo, died early Sunday after a two-car crash near North Cove Boulevard and Central Avenue. Toledo police say it happened around 3:47 a.m. Wallace was behind the wheel.
Police did not get a call from a witness first. The word came through Apple’s Crash Detection feature, which sent a crash alert to 911.
Both cars were heading west. Police say one of them tried to turn right onto Pioneer Lane from the left lane. The two vehicles hit, and one of them took the blow on its passenger side.
Wallace was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced dead there.
He was not the only one hurt. A 26-year-old passenger in his car was badly injured, with wounds police called life-threatening. A 29-year-old man was hurt in the crash too.
That’s a lot of damage for a few seconds on a quiet road before sunrise. Nobody was out there to see it. A phone was the first to say something went wrong.
Police have released no more details so far. What they have confirmed is simple. A 26-year-old Toledo man left for the night and did not make it home.
