LIVERPOOL TWP. — A Chippewa Lake woman whose car was pinned underneath an RV after a three-vehicle accident Monday is doing fine, her father said.

Ken Antall said this morning his daughter is confused about the specifics of the accident that occurred about 1 p.m. Monday at state Route 252 and Neff Road, but she appears to be well.

Holly Antall, 35, was treated at Medina Hospital and released about 6 p.m. Monday, her dad said.

“We are going to have a very grateful Thanksgiving,” Ken Antall said. “She is doing OK with some back spasms, bruises and cuts, but apparently no broken bones.”

Antall said a friend of his daughter drove by the Monday accident and thought whoever was inside the car was dead.

“It is a miracle that she survived and more so without serious injury,” he added.

Lt. Josh Swindell, commander of the Medina post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, said a white Ford F-150 pickup heading west on Neff Road ran a stop sign and struck the side of a northbound RV Winnebago, which then slid sideways and hit a Hyundai Elantra driven by Holly Antall traveling south on Route 252.

Antall was trapped beneath the RV and was extricated from her vehicle before being transported to Medina Hospital.

Medina resident Mike Coad, the driver of the RV, was taken to Medina Hospital with minor injuries.

Kathy Coad said at the scene her husband was in good shape, considering the damage to all the vehicles.

Coad, 55, also was treated at the hospital and released, Swindell said today.

The driver of the F-150, Jeffrey Allamon, also of Chippewa Lake, was flown by emergency helicopter to Cleveland MetroHealth Medical Center, Swindell said, adding Allamon also was treated and released.

Allamon, 45, was cited for failure to yield at a stop sign, Swindell said.

All three drivers appeared to be wearing seat belts, which limited injuries and likely saved lives, the lieutenant said. There were no passengers in any of the vehicles.
