Gibsonia man killed in Turnpike crash north of Cranberry

A Gibsonia man towing a trailer behind his Buick SUV lost control and died in a crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on Friday morning.

Charles R. Fazekas was driving westbound at about 6:30 a.m.when the trailer began to sway around milepost 19.5, according to state police. He lost control of his 2004 Rainier, left the road and struck a guardrail.

The impact ripped the driver's door open and Fazekas was thrown from the vehicle into a wooden post attached to the guardrail, killing him.
