Man killed in single-car accident

Police said the victim was eastbound on West Fourth Street near Summit Ridge Drive at a high rate of speed when his vehicle left the roadway, struck a large tree and came to a rest in the Orr Ditch.

The victim was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected into the ditch. His body was later found in the ditch at Keystone Avenue and Interstate 80.

Officials conducted a thorough search to ensure no one else was ejected into the ditch.
