Through an investigation, police said that a vehicle driven by Clifford Wayne Johnson, 38, Tidioute, was traveling east on Economite Road “when it left the left side of the roadway and struck several fence posts.”

The vehicle then “struck a tree causing (the vehicle) to spin counter clockwise back onto the roadway and continued traveling east” where it came to rest.

Police added that neither man was wearing a seat belt.
