GROVER HILL, Ohio — A Toledo man was killed early Sunday in a single-car crash about three miles southwest of Grover Hill, Ohio, state 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 Drive in Toledo, was taken to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, Ind., where he was in fair condition.

Troopers said Mr. Negrin was heading south on Converse Roselm about 12:30 a.m. when his vehicle veered right and into a ditch.

Alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, troopers said.
