Willard man dies after Richland County crash

2/9/2003

WILLARD, Ohio — A Willard man died yesterday following a single-car accident in Richland County, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.

Bert Moore, 30, was pronounced dead at Shelby MedCentral Hospital, Shelby, Ohio. Authorities were unable to say last night whether Mr. Moore was the driver of the car or a passenger in the vehicle, because a detailed traffic accident report was unavailable.

The car apparently was traveling too fast about 3:10 a.m. to round a curve on Barnes Road. It went off the road, into a ditch, and overturned, troopers at the patrol's Mansfield post said.
