One-vehicle accident leaves man, 60, dead

LIBERTY -- Ohio State Highway Patrol investigators are trying to determine what led to a traffic accident that took one man's life and sent three other family members to the hospital.
According to Liberty Police Chief Anthony Slifka, a Dodge van was traveling east on Interstate 80 at about 1:43 p.m. Monday when the vehicle swerved into the left guardrail and then crossed several lanes and hit the guardrail on the opposite side and rolled down an embankment.
Slifka said one man was thrown from the vehicle and died on impact. He said the man appeared to have massive trauma to his head.
The Warren Post of the state patrol said Thomas Grisham, 60, of Kane, Pa., died at the scene. He was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his wife, Sandra Grisham, 60.
Sandra, her son, Andrew, 17, and father-in-law, George J. Grisham of Bradford, Pa., age unknown, were treated at St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown, a hospital supervisor said.
The patrol said all occupants but Thomas Grisham were wearing seat belts.
No other information was available Monday night from the patrol.
Slifka said the driver of the van told paramedics and authorities immediately after the accident that she is diabetic and said her insulin level was low.
