Three people are dead after a wrong-way crash involving three vehicles late Sunday night, November 8, 2026, on Interstate 90 in Avon, Lorain County, Ohio. The victims were identified as Andrew Sheridan, 50, of Avon Lake; Josylynn R. Geren, 24, of Elyria; and Samantha Spicer, 24, of Vermilion. Their deaths have left families and friends facing a loss that no one was prepared for.
The crash happened around 10:50 p.m. in the westbound lanes of I-90, just before Lear Nagle Road. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a gray 2025 Tesla Model 3 was traveling in the wrong direction when it collided with two other vehicles.
Before the crash, the Tesla had reportedly been involved in a domestic incident. Avon police officers located the vehicle and attempted to stop it. The Tesla allegedly fled from the traffic stop and entered I-90 from Nagel Road, heading eastbound in the westbound lanes.
The Tesla then struck a red 2014 Chevrolet Cruze and a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The collision left three people dead at the scene. Sheridan was driving the Tesla, while Geren was behind the wheel of the Cruze. Spicer was riding as a passenger in the Cruze.
The driver of the Traverse, a 26-year-old man from Lorain, survived the crash. He was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. His vehicle was also involved in the deadly chain of events.
For the families of Sheridan, Geren and Spicer, the news brought a sudden and painful end to the lives of three people who meant so much to those around them. Each victim had a life beyond the crash, with loved ones, personal memories and people who will now have to learn to live without them.
The crash also left questions about the events that unfolded before the Tesla entered the highway. Authorities are investigating the collision, including the reported domestic incident and the attempted traffic stop that came before it.
As the investigation continues, the loss of three lives remains at the center of this tragedy. Andrew Sheridan, Josylynn R. Geren and Samantha Spicer were killed in a crash that unfolded in seconds but will leave lasting pain for the people who knew and loved them.
