PORT CLINTON — An Ottawa County woman was in serious condition yesterday with injuries from a two-car crash on State Rt. 2 east of Port Clinton.

Barbara A. Collins, 53, of Williston, was westbound on Route 2, just east of State Rt. 53 in Portage Township, at 3:16 p.m. Sunday when she lost control of her sport utility vehicle on the icy road.

According to the Sandusky post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, Ms. Collins' vehicle crossed into the path of a westbound tractor-trailer driven by Efrain C. Berrios, 53, of Cleveland, and was struck from behind. The impact pushed Ms. Collins's vehicle off the right side of the road into a ditch.

Ms. Collins was taken to Magruder Hospital, then transferred to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center.
