A tragic single-vehicle crash claimed the life of a Cortland man in the early hours of Saturday morning, prompting an investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP). Mark Moore Jr., 34, was traveling westbound on state Route 88 at approximately 4:30 a.m. when he encountered difficulty navigating a curve.
According to OSHP reports, Moore’s vehicle veered off the left side of the road, striking two mailboxes and a tree before overturning. Despite efforts to rescue him, Moore succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Authorities noted that Moore was not wearing a seat belt, and speed is suspected to have played a role in the crash.
Emergency responders from Bristol Township Fire and EMS, along with deputies from the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office, assisted. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
