The first crash occurred around 7:45 p.m. in the 2300 block of Akron-Peninsula Road. Officers found the the 61-year-old Cuyahoga Falls man drove a 2003 Lexus off to the side of the road and struck a tree. He was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene, Akron police say. Speed and alcohol appear to be a factor in the crash.
