The worker, who is employed by A and A Safety, was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
|CLEVELAND, Ohio - An Avon Lake man who struck a construction worker in a hit and run accident on I-90 last year was sentenced by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Kathleen Ann Sutula Wednesday to five years in prison.
In February, Rolando Rodriguez pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular assault and not having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence.The accident happened around 2 a.m. on June 20, 2023 on I-90 westbound near Columbia Road in Westlake. Westlake Police Capt. Gerald Vogel said officers used the car parts left behind at the accident scene and compared them to the surveillance video of cars driving on I-90 at that time to narrow down the suspect’s vehicle and get his license plate.
Westlake police added because they don’t know if Rodriguez was impaired at the time of the crash because they didn’t track him down until 12 hours later and couldn’t test his blood alcohol level.
