Tiffin, Ohio — Friends and family are left in deep sorrow after 22‑year‑old Alexzandria Hickle died following a late‑night crash just west of Tiffin. The single‑vehicle wreck happened around 10:30 p.m. Thursday on State Route 18 near County Road 48. A Ford Focus heading east ran off the road, hit a tree and slid into a pond.
