Shaker Heights, OH (May 1, 2024) – At around 8:45 p.m. on Monday, April 29, the Shaker Heights police and firefighters were called to the scene of a motor vehicle accident that resulted in injuries.
Preliminary reports show that the driver of a 2012 Hyundai Sonata was driving southbound on Lee Road.
