UPDATE | Driver with 8 DUI charges remains hospitalized


YOUNGSTOWN — A South Schenley Avenue man arrested Tuesday on his eighth DUI charge remains hospitalized with a police hold on him after a magistrate had issued a bench warrant for his arrest for failure to appear in court Wednesday morning.

The Youngstown Municipal Court website shows Magistrate Anthony Sertick issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Daniel Ohle, 51, after he did not to show up for his arraignment.

Ohle, who police said drove a wrong-way, southbound van that rammed a northbound SUV at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday on the Madison Avenue Expressway, suffered a broken leg.

Preliminary blood tests drawn at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital showed Ohle had a blood alcohol content of 0.375, which is more than four times the legal limit of 0.08.

The woman driving the van and her children, ages 5 years old and 10 months old, who were her passengers, were not seriously hurt.
