    GRAFTON, OHIO — Hearts were heavy on Wednesday at the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton, where Neil Jalowiec worked for 17 years as a corrections officer.

    Jalowiec, a 65-year-old Grafton resident, was killed in a car accident on Tuesday at the intersection of state Route 57 and West River Road in Elyria. The tan Buick LeSabre he was driving was rear-ended by a red Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Emelio Hernandez Perez, 23, of Elyria.

    The force of the collision pushed the two cars all the way across the intersection and pushed the back of Jalowiec’s car up to the back of the front seat.

    Lorain County Coroner Dr. Paul Matus said Jalowiec died of internal chest and abdominal injuries.

    Perez was transported by helicopter from EMH Regional Medical Center to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, where he was treated and released. The investigation into the crash continues.

    Jalowiec’s family declined comment Wednesday through a family friend. Jalowiec leaves behind a wife of 42 years, Raeme, and a daughter, Alicia.

    “He was very, very respected,â€
