2/8/2006

A South Toledo man was in critical condition yesterday in Toledo Hospital, a day after his car collided with another car at Sylvania Avenue and Overland Parkway in West Toledo.

Curtis Clifgard, 73, of 5464 Cresthaven Lane, who was hospitalized, might have had a heart attack at the time of the accident, police said.

Nicholas Falk, 25, of 3520 Revere Drive, who was driving the other car, and his passenger, Todd Sonner, 24, of 824 Waybridge Rd., were treated at Toledo Hospital.

Mr. Clifgard was eastbound on Sylvania about 6:40 p.m. Monday when he began to turn left onto Overland in front of Mr. Falk's westbound car.

The cars collided, and debris from the crash hit a minivan stopped for a red light on Overland, police said.
