I-80 crash victim ID’d

AUSTINTOWN

The man killed in a one-vehicle accident Sunday evening along Interstate 80 “may have suffered a cardiac episode,” according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

A Tuesday release from the patrol’s Canfield post identifies the man as Matthew C. Curto, 59, of Warren.

Curto was traveling east along I-80 when he lost control of his car near mile marker 224, drove off the side of the road and struck a guardrail just after 8 p.m. Austintown Township Fire Department responders found Curto “unresponsive” in the vehicle. He was transported to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Troopers believe Curto was wearing a seat belt during the crash and do not suspect alcohol is a factor in the crash.

No other injuries were reported. Troopers continue to investigate. Tribute on A4
