CONCORD \u2014 An 81-year-old Erie man lost his life Friday following a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Route 89 and Lovell Road, according to a Pennsylvania State Police report.<\/p>\n
The crash occurred at about 1:52 p.m. on May 8. According to investigators, Clarissa M. Hicks, 19, of Corry, was traveling east on Lovell Road in a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox and had stopped at the stop sign at the Route 89 intersection. Benjamin T. Ewiak Jr., 81, of Erie, was traveling north on Route 89 in a 2013 Honda CRV, approaching the same intersection.<\/p>\n
As Ewiak’s vehicle neared the intersection, Hicks pulled forward into the roadway, and the two vehicles collided. The force of the impact sent Ewiak’s Honda veering northward, where it struck a ditch on the east side of Route 89. The vehicle then rolled multiple times along the roadway, ejecting Ewiak in the process. The Honda came to a final rest facing west on Route 89. Ewiak was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
Investigators noted that Ewiak was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Hicks was uninjured. Both vehicles sustained disabling damage.<\/p>\n
