The Ohio State Patrol is investigating a pedestrian crash in Fremont that killed a graduate of Elmwood High School.

Last Wednesday, at approximately 10:43 p.m., a pedestrian was on Napoleon Road just west of Sullivan Road near Terra Community College.

A small silver pickup truck, which was eastbound on Napoleon Road, reportedly struck the pedestrian and then fled the scene. The pedestrian, Anthony C. Ervin, 18 years old from Bloomdale, was flown from the scene with injuries to Mercy Health-St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo.

On Friday, Ervin was flown to OSU Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, where he later died from his injuries on Saturday.
