Parking reminder

VIENNA

The Vienna Police Department reminds people that there is no parking allowed on King-Graves Road near the Youngstown Air Reserve Station or state Route 193 near the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

Vienna Police Chief Bob V. Ludt said people have in the past tried to park in those areas to catch a glimpse of aircraft arriving for the Thunder Over The Valley air show, which returns this weekend. Officers are prepared to ask people to leave those areas, Ludt said.

Citations after wreck

YOUNGSTOWN

Police issued traffic citations to a Leo Avenue woman late Tuesday after two small children in a car she was driving suffered bloody faces in an accident because they were not restrained in a child seat.

Reports said police responded just after 10 p.m. to an accident at Cottage Grove and East Avondale Avenue and found the children in a car driven by J’nai Martin, 21.

Reports said paramedics said both children had injuries consistent with not being in a car seat. Reports did not mention the ages of the children.

Martin was given citations for assured clear distance, not having a driver’s license and failure to use child restraint and released at the scene.
