TOLEDO, Ohio — An 8-year-old is dead and a woman is in the hospital after a crash on the Craig Bridge over the Maumee River in Toledo on Saturday morning, according to Toledo police.
TPD says 37-year-old Christina Price, of Toledo, was traveling westbound just before 10 a.m. when she crashed through the gates that are there to stop traffic so the bridge can be raised.
Police say Price's car then crashed into the draw bridge as it was in the process of going up.
Toledo Fire and Rescue pronounced Price's 8-year-old passenger, who was riding in the back seat, dead at the scene.
Price was rushed to the hospital for treatment of her injuries. Her condition is unknown at this time.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident.
A GoFundMe fundraiser was started by the young girl's family to help pay for the funeral costs. You can find it here.
On Sunday night, friends and family gathered near the site of the crash for a candlelight vigil for the girl.
