CHAMPION TWP., Ohio - One person died late Tuesday in a single-car crash in Champion Township.

Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) have identified the victim as Scott P. Bellknapp, 58, of Decatur, Georgia.

Dispatchers got a call just after 10 pm that a small car had hit a utility pole along North Leavitt Road, south of Painesville Warren Road SW.

Bellknapp was driving southbound on the road and failed to properly make a turn and ran off the road, striking several small trees, overturned and hit a utility pole.

The driver was taken to a hospital where he died.  No one else was in the car.

Bellknapp was not wearing a seatbelt during the crash. Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in the incident, according to OSHP.
