PITTSFIELD TWP. — A 22-year-old Wakeman man was killed Sunday morning when the pickup truck he was riding in went off the road and hit two trees.
Zachariah Hurn was taken by helicopter to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, where he died.
The Ohio Highway Patrol said Hurn was a passenger in a truck driven by Anthony Bowe, 22. Bowe was ejected from the vehicle. The Highway Patrol said Bowe suffered critical injuries, but he was reported in fair condition at MetroHealth late Sunday.
Authorities said Bowe’s 1985 Dodge Ram pickup truck was going north on Quarry Road when it went off the right side of the road around 2:10 a.m. Sunday, hitting a sign and trees.
No other vehicles were involved. Troopers are investigating whether alcohol was a factor.
