Staff report
WARREN
A single-car crash into a tree at the corner of Elm Road and Clermont Street Northeast killed Anthony A. Cipolla, 73, of Warren.
The car was traveling south on Elm Road at a curve near Clermont when it continued straight instead of turning and struck a pine tree next to the Warren Bible Methodist Church.
Cipolla was pronounced dead at the scene, Warren police said. The investigation is continuing, police added.
Warren police closed a section of the road shortly after the 9:30 a.m. crash, and it remained closed until late afternoon, Clermont resident Tim Reeves said.
Reeves heard the crash and went to see if he could do anything to help, but the man had been ejected from the car and appeared to have already died, Reeves said. His body was next to the passenger side of the car.
The car was extensively damaged, and another neighbor said it seemed to have been traveling very fast.
