Toledo motorist dies after crash on west side

2/13/2006

A South Toledo man involved in a car accident last week died Saturday at Toledo Hospital.

Curtis Clifgard, 73, of 5464 Cresthaven Lane was hospitalized after his car collided with another car at Sylvania Avenue and Overland Parkway in West Toledo. Police said he might have had a heart attack at the time of the accident.

Dr. James Patrick, Lucas County coroner, declined comment on Mr. Clifgard s cause of death, saying he needed to further examine hospital records before making a determination.

Mr. Clifgard was eastbound on Sylvania on Feb. 6 when he began to turn left onto Overland in front of a westbound car. The cars collided, police said.
