Truck Rolls Onto Road Kills Youth in Ohio Crash
Youngstown man William A. Neapolitan, 19, was killed when his pickup collided with a driverless tractor-trailer that had rolled from a filling station lot onto Ohio 7 south of Youngstown around 3 a.m. Saturday. Anthony Gaudiello, 42, of Youngstown Cartage Co. said he parked the steel trailer at the station, then found it missing and saw Neapolitan’s truck crushed against the tractor-trailer on the highway. Deputies reported the brakes on the trailer-trailer were functional after the wreck. The truck traveled about 40 feet before stopping.
