NELSON TWP: A 35-year-old Warren man died early Saturday morning in a one-car accident along state Route 305.
John A. Debon was traveling westbound at 4:15 a.m. at a high rate of speed when his 2011 Volvo S40 went off the right side of the road and struck two trees, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
Debon, who was not wearing a seat belt, was trapped in the severely damaged vehicle and Community Fire and EMS had to help get him loose, the patrol said. The only occupant of the car, he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Portage County coroner.
The Ravenna post is investigating the crash. Authorities said it was not immediately known whether alcohol or drugs were involved.
