The Ohio State Highway Patrol said a Richland County man died Saturday night after a single-car crash. The highway patrol has identified the victim as 68-year-old Frank E. Pointer, of Mansfield.
Troopers said Pointer was driving around 10:15 p.m. on West Hanley Road when his car went left of center.
Pointer overcorrected, according to the highway patrol, and his car traveled off the road. The vehicle hit several mailboxes and a traffic sign before striking a large tree head on, troopers said.
EMS took Pointer to Ohio Health Mansfield Hospital, where the highway patrol said he was pronounced dead. The crash remains under investigation.
