LOCAL COUPLE KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE CRASH OUTSIDE TOLEDO
According to the Lucas County sheriff, a local Milwaukee couple traveling on I-90 through Toledo were involved in an early-morning accident when an inattentive semi driver crossed lanes and hit their vehicle head-on. The couple, Edward and Connie Gordon of Milwaukee, were en route to Wisconsin from Massachusetts, where they’d spent the summer. Connie Gordon was pronounced dead at the scene. Edward Gordon was rushed to a local hospital, where he died. The driver of the semi, Charles Radtke of Orlando, Florida, was also pronounced dead at the scene.
Edward Gordon taught history at Riverside High School. Connie Gordon was retired.
“This is just devastating,” said Dawn Marks, a former colleague of Connie Gordon’s. “They made that trip to Cape Cod every year.”
