Officials have confirmed that a crash in South Mahoning Township Thursday afternoon was a fatal one.
The initial call went out at 3:05 PM for firefighters from Marion Center and Plumville Fire Departments. State police and Citizen’s Ambulance were also dispatched at the time. Marion Center fire officials said in their initial post on Facebook that at least one person was trapped in a vehicle involved in the crash and had to be extricated.
Marion Center fire officials and Indiana County Coroner Jerry Overman, Jr. both confirmed that the crash was fatal. State police say the driver, 67-year-old Roy Simpson of Home, was headed east on Morrow Road when his car left the road, traveled down an embankment and struck the ground at the bottom. The car then entered a ditch and rolled on to its driver side before striking the other side of the ditch. It came to final rest lying on its driver side.
Simpson was dead prior to the arrival of emergency responders. This marks the third fatal crash in Indiana County this week.
