The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash that occurred Sunday morning.

According to the release, the crash happened around 5:29 a.m. on State Route 11 southbound in Liberty Township.

State Troopers say the driver of the 2006 Pontiac Vibe involved in the single-car crash was 45-year-old Jesse Kalhoun of Liberty.

Kalhoun's car traveled off the left side of the road and hit a bridge pillar, ejecting him.

He was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown where he was later pronounced dead.

Troopers say alcohol was not a factor in the crash but believe that speed played a role.

Kalhoun was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
