CLEVELAND -- The last remnant of Euclid Beach Park may have to be torn down.

The entrance gate arch on Lakeshore Boulevard near East 160th Street was damaged in a crash Thursday morning.

A woman smashed her car into the arch at about 2 a.m.

Cleveland Landmark Hit By Car

The damage is so bad that officials said the arch could be blown down or fall down in today's high winds.

Many Clevelanders have memories of the Euclid Beach Park. It opened in 1895 and closed in 1969. The arch is on private property and is a designated Cleveland Landmark.

The old park is now an apartment complex and police said the woman that hit it is a resident.

Police said the driver of the car that smashed into the arch is 30-year-old Arlyce Clemmons, who is being cited with leaving the scene of an accident and failure to control her automobile.

Clemmons told police that she hit the arch after trying to avoid a car that almost hit her.
