TOLEDO, Lucas County, Ohio, Nov. 13, 2026 — Two people were hospitalized with serious injuries after a hit-and-run crash on Tuesday afternoon, November 10, at Dorr Street and North Hawley Street in central Toledo, according to Toledo police.
A 31-year-old woman was driving eastbound on Dorr Street with a 35-year-old male passenger approaching the North Hawley Street intersection shortly before 3 p.m. when another driver reportedly ran a red light and pulled into her path. The other driver fled the scene after the collision and has not been identified publicly.
Both the woman and her passenger were taken to the same hospital with serious injuries. The woman was later transferred to another hospital for what police described as more appropriate care.
The search for the driver who left the scene remains active. We wish the injured a complete recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed make a crash worse? Yes. Higher speed means more force in a collision and less time for either driver to react, which usually leads to more serious injuries.
Why is distracted driving so risky at intersections? A driver who is looking at a phone or otherwise not focused on the road may miss a red light or a car already in the intersection, which is usually how these crashes happen.
