WOODVILLE, Ohio — A Texas man was seriously injured Thursday when the small plane he was operating crashed in northeast Sandusky County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reported. Clifton Green, 64, of Fort Worth, was operating a single-engine plane northbound toward Michigan when the plane started to have mechanical issues and crashed at 2:35 p.m. near the junction of U.S. 20 and 23 several miles northwest of Woodville, according to the patrol.

New co-working space opens in Bowling Green

BOWLING GREEN — When Kati Thompson routinely drove by an abandoned building in downtown Bowling Green, she said she saw opportunity. Ms. Thompson, director of Bowling Green Economic Development, thought it could be used to unite the community in some way but said she knew it was too much for one organization to take on. “It wasn’t going to pencil out to be profitable without some grant funding,” she said Thursday. “I knew of some grants that were available and we just went for it.” One year later, Bowling Green business leaders and owners saw that opportunity come to life in the form of the Four Corners Center + COWORK at 248 S. Main St. They celebrated the opening of the revitalized building with a ceremony and open house. The space is a 11,000-square-foot shared office and co-working space, and an apartment building on the building’s second floor, Ms. Thompson said. The building houses the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, Visit BG, the Downtown Bowling Green Special Improvement District, and Bowling Green Economic Development. “It continues to allow for our Four Corners Center organizations to remain in an office space together permanently,” Ms. Thompson said. “It also creates a space

The Heights restaurant announces second temporary closure this year

The Heights, a popular restaurant in downtown Toledo, announced Friday on social media it is temporarily closing. The restaurant and bar will close Saturday “while we give the space and menu a fresh new look,” a hotel spokesman said Friday afternoon. “We plan to reopen in December 2026 and will share the exact reopening date as soon as it’s set.” The private catering space will remain open and available for events throughout the refresh. To book a private event, guests can contact Brittany Haas at brittany.haas@marriott.com or 419-244-2444. The eatery is located on the rooftop of the Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel, 444 N.

The Renaissance’s hospitality team made a similar move earlier this year when the Heights announced a temporary closure at the beginning of February, which lasted nearly four months. The intent was to refresh the Heights’ offerings during the slower winter months, a hotel spokesman said at the time.

Michigan man killed in Fulton County crash

FAYETTE, Ohio — A Blissfield, Mich., man was killed Wednesday morning in a three-vehicle crash at U.S. 20 and County Road 23 in Fulton County’s Gorham Township. Kurt Burgard, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene after being ejected from his vehicle, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The crash occurred about 7 a.m. when Mr. Burgard, driving north on County Road 23, failed to stop at a stop sign at U.S. 20, troopers said. His car was struck by an eastbound pickup driven by Robert Hooks, Jr., 64, of Fayette, Ohio. The pickup continued off the road and overturned in a field. The collision pushed Mr. Burgard’s vehicle into the westbound lanes of U.S. 20, where it was struck by a minivan driven by Leah Salter, 47, of Lyons, Ohio. The second collision pushed Mr. Burgard’s vehicle into a field northeast of the intersection. Mr. Hooks was taken to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo with serious injuries. Ms. Salter suffered minor injuries but was not taken to a hospital. All three drivers were wearing seat belts, troopers said. The crash remains under investigation.

Driver gets 9 years for bicyclist’s hit-and-run death in Point Place

Finding “no accountability” on the part of a man who fatally struck a bicyclist and fled the scene on New Year’s Eve in Point Place, a judge sent that driver to prison Thursday for nine years. Marcus Deamicis, 74, told Judge Ken Walz in Lucas County Common Pleas Court that he did not know he had struck Timothy Haase, 44, until Sept. 10, when he and his lawyer reviewed video from the mid-afternoon crash scene on Summit Street at 131st Street. “Was that willful blindness? Was it refusal to accept what happened? It’s confounding,” Judge Walz later said before handing Deamicis a sentence two years shy of the maximum for first-degree aggravated vehicular homicide. The judge noted that investigators found no skid marks at the scene and calculated Deamicis’ speed at more than 40 mph, while witnesses estimated his speed as much higher. Deamicis, of the 4900 block of Suder Avenue, said his knee had become stuck with his foot pinned on the accelerator and he had swerved to avoid crashing into traffic stopped ahead on Summit for a red light at 131st. “I’ve never harmed anyone in my life,” Deamicis said after stating his deep sorrow for the crash.

Toledo officer resigns after duty weapon found in car driven by felon

A Toledo police officer has resigned after violating several department policies, a department spokesman said, including leaving a firearm in her vehicle, which was being driven by someone barred from having a weapon. Makinnah Billegas resigned effective Oct. 28 following two investigations that found willful violation of the law, conduct unbecoming of an officer, and violation of restricted telecommunications. One investigation began in August after an officer stopped a vehicle registered to Ms. Billegas that was being driven by James Moore, who had previously been convicted of a felony and barred from possessing a firearm. A search of the vehicle found Ms. Billegas’s loaded duty weapon in the locked glove compartment. Moore was arrested by police following the stop. According to the investigation report, Ms. Billegas also contacted officers and asked them not to take the firearm or make a report. Ms. Billegas was also found to have performed a search of the department’s database at the request of another person, violating restrictions on the use of the law enforcement database. “We expect every officer to uphold the law and meet the standards of this department. When an officer falls short of those expectations, we have the responsibility to address
