YOUNGSTOWN

Police and Mahoning County Coroner’s officials are still trying to confirm the identities of two of three people killed Tuesday in a head-on collision on Youngstown-Hubbard Road.

Lt. William Ross of the department’s Accident Investigation Unit said Wednesday investigators are waiting to confirm the identity of two people in a car with Tennessee plates. Ross said police think they know who the people were and gave coroner’s officials the information, but it has not yet been confirmed.

A witness said the third person is Mark Blackburn of Hubbard, who was driving a Jeep that was also involved in the crash. A person who was in the Jeep with Blackburn is being treated at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.
