AVON, Ohio (WOIO) - A parking lot at the Lake Erie Crushers Stadium is filled with trucks from the Ford Assembly Plant in nearby Avon Lake.

Ford, like other automakers and industries, are experiencing the impact of a global semiconductor shortage.
The shortage is slowing down Ford’s ability to finish its trucks and ship them to customers.
A spokesperson said the company is working with suppliers to address constraints and will ship completed vehicles as soon as possible.
About 1,600 hourly employees work at the Ford Assembly Plant in Avon Lake.
