A Silver Lake man was killed in a two-vehicle crash near Akron on Monday afternoon.
Police say 65-year old Joseph Frances Cosgrove was westbound on Division Road in his Chrysler minivan and allegedly failed to stop for a stop sign at the intersection with State Road 19. Cosgrove pulled into the intersection and was hit by a northbound pickup truck, driven by 39-year old Matthew Haussmann.
Cosgrove was pronounced dead at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash. Haussmann was flown from the scene to a Fort Wayne hospital with head trauma and a leg injury.
This crash is still under investigation, but at this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to the crash.
