2 dead in 2 crashes

A 22-year-old man died after a single-car accident on state Route 46 Thursday, about a mile south of Lake Tavern in Mecca Township, and a New Castle man was killed around 8:15 p.m. Friday when his vehicle crashed into a utility pole on South Cascade Street.

Corey F. Osmon, with addresses in Niles and Homewood Avenue Southeast in Warren, died after his 1997 Mercury hit a tree just before 11 p.m.

Hydraulic equipment was used to remove Osmon from the vehicle.

Additional information was not available Saturday from the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office, which investigated the crash.

Meanwhile, New Castle police said Russell Cade, 75, of Grandview Avenue, was driving a 2005 Saturn sport utility vehicle, which crossed the center line, hit the utility pole, struck a construction sign, flipped onto its roof, struck a building and came to rest when it hit another utility pole, New Castle police said.

Cade was pronounced dead at the scene.
