One person was killed during a crash involving a fire truck and a van on I-90 in Rocky River, which also ultimately resulted in the hit-skip death of a Cleveland police officer. The fire truck was on scene assisting in a single-vehicle accident when a white van crashed into the back of the truck. The driver of the van, 29-year-old Artem Vytiegov of San Francisco, was pronounced dead on scene. The passenger, who has not been identified, was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center for treatment. There is no word yet on her condition or other injuries. Cleveland police officer David Fahey, who was on scene placing down flares for the accident, was struck and killed by a white Toyota Camry which then drove away from the scene. Police believe they have found the vehicle.
