1 man killed, 1 hurt in 3-vehicle crash

NORTH JACKSON

One man died and another was hospitalized after a three-vehicle crash on Mahoning Avenue in Jackson Township late Thursday.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol Canfield Post is investigating a crash between a sports utility vehicle and two commercial trucks that occurred about 10 p.m.

A patrol news release said Anthony Pesce, 46, of Austintown, was driving northbound in a SUV and failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Lipkey Road and Mahoning Avenue.

His vehicle was struck by a box truck, causing the truck to roll over in the road, the release said. The truck was then struck by a tractor-trailer.

Pesce was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where he died. The box- truck driver, Richard Nottingham, no age available, of Austintown, was hospitalized for minor injuries. The tractor-trailer driver, Shane Couger, 46, of Vienna, suffered minor injuries. Jackson Township police and fire departments assisted.

Facing $1M bonds

YOUNGSTOWN

Bond was set Friday at $1 million each for the two suspects in the Wednesday shooting death of Evan Amos, 22, at a home on South Lakeview Avenue.

James Perry of East Lucius Avenue and Jesse Stewart of East Philadelphia Avenue, both 19, were arraigned in municipal court before Judge Robert Milich on charges of aggravated robbery and aggravated murder.

The two were arrested shortly after Amos was shot while answering a knock on his side door of his West Side home.

Back from mission

VIENNA

A team of Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 910th Airlift Wing returned Friday from a 10-day mission in support of Puerto Rico relief efforts. During the mission, the crew moved 61,000 pounds of cargo, 86 passengers and a border collie.

The team was the second from the Youngstown Air Reserve Station to assist with Puerto Rico relief efforts and responded on short notice to use the unit’s tactical airlift capabilities to transport the cargo and personnel.

Duties included transporting pallets of cargo onto the island via C-130, where the cargo was transferred to other agencies to be broken down and flown inland via helicopter. The crew also transported military personnel to the island to support relief efforts on the ground. A new team departed later Friday to continue the support operations.
