Man dies in crash

Morning Sentinel Staff

CARTHAGE -- A 36-year-old Wales man died and four others were taken to the hospital Monday after two pickup trucks crashed on Route 142.

Tolga Ozkur, a native of Turkey, ran through a stop sign and crashed his 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck into a 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck at 10:06 a.m.

Ozkur died at the scene, according to Franklin County Deputy David Rackliffe.

The driver of the other pickup truck was Troy McCormick of Wilton. He, his infant daughter and passenger Ashlee Cote were all taken by ambulance to Franklin Memorial Hospital.

A passenger in Ozkur's truck, Casandra Patnode, of Wales, was taken to Rumford Hospital.

None of them had life-threatening injuries, Rackliffe said.

Sheriff's deputies still are investigating the crash. They don't believe alcohol or excessive speed were factors, Rackliffe said.
