Fatal accident on I-80
MERCER, Pa. -- Pennsylvania State Police said a New York man was fatally injured in a one-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 in Lackawannock Township.
Police said David G. Campbell III of Glen Cove, N.Y., was driving his Chevrolet S-10 Blazer west on I-80 around 8:30 p.m. Saturday when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle went off the left side of the road into the median.
Campbell apparently tried to pull back onto the road but oversteered and went off the other side of the highway, police said. His vehicle then flipped over, perhaps as many as three times, police said.
Campbell was wearing a seat belt. He was flown by helicopter to St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, where he was pronounced dead, police said. A report form the Mahoning County coroner's office wasn't available this morning.
