Parents, 1-year-old killed in accident near Oberlin
OBERLIN, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man, his pregnant wife and their 1-year-old daughter have been killed in a traffic accident.
A doctor did a Caesarean section delivery at the scene Tuesday afternoon but was unable to save the unborn child, due in one month.
Police tell multiple media outlets the accident occurred when the family’s car, driven by the father, crossed the center line and hit an oncoming truck.
The victims are 23-year-old Gar Cole of Wellington, his 22-year-old wife, Simone, and their daughter, Ryleigh.
The parents were pronounced dead at the scene near Oberlin, about 35 miles southwest of Cleveland. The daughter died at a hospital Tuesday night.
The truck’s driver and his helper were treated for minor injuries.
