Man killed in truck rollover accident …
A 32-year-old Medina man was killed Saturday night when his truck rolled over off Erhart Road less than half a mile south of state Route 18 in York Township, the Medina post of the State Highway Patrol reported.
James E. Ventura was pronounced dead at the scene.
The highway patrol said Ventura, who was driving a 1994 Ford truck, drove off the left side of Erhart Road to avoid hitting a deer shortly after 8 p.m.
The truck hit a ditch and rolled onto its side.
Ventura was partially thrown from the vehicle and trapped underneath.
Two passengers, identified as Sabrina Ventura, 38, of Medina, and Jeffrey Flanik, 43, of Litchfield, were treated at the scene for minor injuries and released.
No one in the truck appeared to be wearing a seat belt, the highway patrol said.
Alcohol consumption before the crash is suspected, the highway patrol said in a release.
