Driver killed in Chardon Township crash after swerving into oncoming lane, says OSHP.

CHARDON TOWNSHIP– The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a two-vehicle accident that left a man dead Sunday.

Chardon Post police responded to the crash site on SR-44 near mile post 19 around 1:30 p.m.

A Mentor man was reportedly driving his Nissan Sentra north on the highway when he entered southbound traffic and was hit by a RAM 1500, officers said.

The Sentra diver was killed in the accident, the soldiers confirmed. He was reportedly not wearing a seat belt at the time. OSHP did not report whether the driver of the other vehicle was injured or not.

Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this incident, OSHP said.
