An Akron man was killed early Saturday morning in a single-car crash in the city’s Kenmore neighborhood.
Joseph LaFever, 36, was pronounced dead at the scene. According to police, he was driving a 1998 Ford Contour north in the 2000 block of Manchester Road at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle and drove over the east side curb. LaFever, who was not wearing a seat belt, struck two utility poles and a guard rail before the vehicle came to a rest.
The crash is under investigation.
