VAN WERT, Ohio — A Toledo man was killed early Saturday in a single car accident about three miles southwest of Grover Hill, Ohio, troopers at the Van Wert post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said.

Carlos Negrin II, 41, of 2632 Pratt St., was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident on Converse Roselm Road, just south of Jackson Township Road 12.

A passenger, Gilbert Gomez, 41, of 310 Morrison Dr., Toledo, was taken to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, Ind., where he was listed in fair condition.

Troopers said Mr. Negrin was south on Converse Roselm about 12:30 a.m. when his car went off the right side of the road and into a ditch.

Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the crash, they said.
