Donn Teeple, 80, dies after being hit by car at Coventry Acme

An 80-year-old Akron man was struck and killed Wednesday night in an Acme Fresh Market parking lot in Coventry Township, according to the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Donn Teeple was reportedly walking in a crosswalk at the Acme located at 3235 Manchester Road when he was struck by a Dodge Durango, Chief Coroner Gary Guenther said.

Teeple was later taken to Akron City Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:02 p.m. Wednesday.

It is not known if the driver has been identified or taken into custody. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office, which is handling the investigation, could not be reached Friday.

“Our thoughts are with everyone involved,” Acme Chief Marketing Officer Katie Swartz said Friday.
