OSP says fatal Johnston Twp. crash was 'intentional'
State Troopers say they believe a fatal one-vehicle crash in Trumbull County was an intentional act.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol says 19-year-old Tristan Thompson was driving a Chevy Impala that crashed at Bradley Brownlee Road and Warner Road in Johnston Township shortly before 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Troopers say the car failed to stop at the stop sign and drove through the intersection at a high rate of speed.
The car went off the road, striking a ditch, a tree, and a utility pole before overturning.
Thompson who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the car and died.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor, according to the patrol.
A media release from OSP does not list an address for the victim.
The patrol and the Trumbull County Coroner's Office are still investigating.
