VIENNA -- The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal head-on crash Monday that killed a Howland man.
The crash occurred just after 10 p.m. Monday on Warren Sharon Road near Roy Road in Vienna. A crash report states that Robert Pearce, 70, of Howland, was traveling west on Warren Sharon Road when the vehicle he was driving hit a couple of mailboxes and then struck another driver head-on.
The report states both vehicles went off the road and both drivers were taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where Pearce later died.
The patrol said the other driver underwent immediate surgery and is in stable condition.
Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt, and alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor in the crash, the patrol report states.
