Erie-Lorain County/Charges could be filed against wrong-way driver
A person could be held responsible for the death of a Sandusky man in a wrong-way head-on crash last February.
2008 Huron High School grad, 28-year-old Jeff Baur, died weeks after being struck by a wrong-way driver on I-90; who’s believed by authorities to have been under the influence during the crash.
According to the Sandusky Register, police in Sheffield Village are getting set to hand over a case to the Lorain County Prosecutor’s Office…where it will be presented to a grand jury who’ll determine if there’s enough evidence to file a charge of vehicular homicide against the other driver.
