Willard Misfeldt, 87, was taken to a Toledo area hospital after the car he was driving careened across four lanes of South Main Street and struck a house shortly after noon Sunday.
According to the police report, Misfeldt, retired professor from the BGSU School of Art, was eastbound on Pearl Street when his vehicle began to accelerate rapidly. He failed to stop at the stop sign and headed across South Main, struck a curb, then an embankment, before crashing into the house at 303 S. Main St.
Misfeldt was taken from the scene to Wood County Hospital, and then by air ambulance to St. Vincent’s.
Police believe a health condition may have contributed to the accident.
