Feb. 05--Three Toledo police officers were injured late Saturday after their vehicle was struck by a driver who failed to stop at the intersection of South Avenue and Stebbins Street, police said.
Officer Paul Marchyok, 46, was driving a police unit with limit markings east on South Avenue on the way to assist other police units at 10:39 p.m. Saturday. Jared Harris, 22, of Toledo, was traveling north on Stebbins Street when he failed to stop for a stop sign before turning left on South Avenue, police said.
