An Orwell man is in serious condition following a one-car crash in Montville Township this afternoon.
Joseph Jackson Jr., 38, was traveling west on Plank Road in a 2002 Acura RSX-S when his vehicle drove off the right side of the roadway at approximately 2 p.m., striking a culvert. His car then went airborne and struck a tree before coming to a final rest on its top, according to a news release issued by the Chardon post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Jackson was transported via helicopter to University Hospitals with serious injures.
Montville and Hambden fire departments and EMS were at the scene assisting with the investigation.
It is unknown whether Jackson was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash, the patrol said.
Speed and drug use appear to the factors in the crash.
The crash remains under investigation.
