CANTON: A 32-year-old Canton man who was driving the wrong way on U.S. Route 30 early Thursday was killed in a head-on collision with a truck just east of Harrison Avenue.
Alcohol is suspected in the fatal accident, which took place at 1:29 a.m., the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
Justin M. Jewell was driving a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country east in the westbound lanes when he collided with a 2016 International 4300 driven by Randy L. Parson, 58, of Navarre.
Jewell, who was suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Stark County Coroner’s Office. Parson was taken to Aultman Hospital for nonlife-threatening injuries.
Neither driver was wearing a seat belt.
The crash remains under investigation.
