A six car injury crash on U.S..224 in eastern Summit County sent two drivers to the hospital.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol's Canton post says the crash at U.S. 224 and Ohio 532 in Springfield Township at the Summit-Portage County line happened at about 10 until 2 PM Saturday.

The patrol says 29 year-old Aaron Brna of Uniontown was driving westbound on U.S. 224 in his SUV, when he ran a red light and struck a Jeep driven by 39 year-old Amy Schrock of Mogadore...who was waiting for the light heading eastbound on 224.

Officers say after Brna ran into Schrock's vehicle, he continued westbound, and struck four other vehicles on eastbound 224.

Brna was transported to Akron General Medical Center with serious injuries, and Schrock was transported to Akron City Hospital with serious injuries.

Two other drivers, 36 year-old Amanda Szabo and 33 year-old Paula Mcatee of Mogadore, were treated at the scene for non-life threatening injuries, and were not transported to a hospital. Another driver, 36 year-old Felicia Ulmer of Akron, and her two sons were not injured. A fourth driver had already left the scene.

The crash is still under investigation.
