WARREN — City police today released a photo of a white automobile that might have been involved in a March 12 fatal pickup truck accident on West Market Street.

The photograph from the surveillance video of a West Market Street gas station shows a white car passing the gas station at 4:35 p.m. just ahead of a cloud of dust.

It’s difficult to tell what type of car it is, but Jodi Weaver, the driver of the pickup truck and mother of Alyssa B. Wynn, the 17-year-old Warren G. Harding High School senior who died, said the vehicle was a white Honda Civic.

Police would like to talk to the driver of the white car, said Patrolman Ben Harrell, Warren police traffic investigator.

Weaver told police the man in the white car was about 30 years old and had a chipped or missing tooth and that he gave her an obscene gesture at the traffic light at Austin Avenue and West Market Street just before cutting her off. Harrell said the caused by that action caused Weaver to lose control, resulting in the accident.

Anyone with information is asked to call Harrell at 330-841-2797.
