HOWLAND, Ohio - State Troopers suspect that speed, alcohol, and drugs were factors in a fatal accident in Howland Township that claimed the life of a Warren man.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am driven by  52-year-old Michael Campbell of Warren veered off a curve along Pine Avenue SE just after 6 p.m. Monday.

The car struck a guardrail and a ditch, rolling over in the brush several times before landing on its roof on the road.

Campbell and his passenger, 50-year-old Michael Kuhl of Milton, Florida were both thrown from the car.

Campbell died. Kuhl was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

The road between Burton St. and DeForest Road was shut down while the crash was being investigated, but it has since reopened.
