CLEVELAND — Geneva Vason believes she's lucky to be alive after a road rage incident, Cleveland police report caused Vason to slam into a utility pole on the cities east side.
Vason told News 5 three young women in another car thought she cut them off as she pulled onto East 93 at Heath Avenue.

“I just started freaking out, and I started screaming, for someone to call 911,” Vason said.
"It hurts, it hurts really bad. It makes me depressed, it makes me sad.”
“Not only do you throw something in the car that causes me to hit a pole, but then you come back and then you say that.”
“It’s hard at times to sleep at night, because all I keep thinking about is the car accident. It replays in my head, over and over and over.”
Cleveland police have a surveillance picture of the suspects vehicle, a gray or silver Cadillac SUV, or Chrysler 300.
