72, of 215 Gilbert St., in Parrottsville, died in a single vehicle accident on
Highway 321 on Tuesday, Sept. 29.
Lee was in a 2004 Buick
traveling alone south on Highway 321 when, at the intersection with Good Hope
Road, at about 11 p.m., he went off the left side of the road, drove down a
small embankment, and struck several large rocks in a construction zone before
his vehicle came to a stop.

a seatbelt.
"Safety restraints would have
made a difference," according to Jarnagin in his report.
