According to a news release issued Monday by the Canton Police Department, officers responded to the crash at approximately 10:27 a.m. on July 18 at the intersection of U.S. 62 and Harmont Avenue NE.
Investigators said a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling eastbound on U.S. 62 while a 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage was traveling westbound on state Route 62 and attempting to turn south onto Harmont Avenue NE when it was struck by the Silverado.
