Double fatal crash leads to indictment

DAYTON - A man accused of killing two women in a Moraine traffic crash was indicted Wednesday, Aug. 11 on two counts off aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of driving under the influence.

Benton J. Shively, 23, of Washington Twp., had been southbound on Springboro Pike on May 18. Near Sandridge drive, he swerved left into oncoming traffic, crashing head-on into another vehicle.

Shively tested positive for marijuana after the crash, according to Montgomery County Prosecutor Mathias H. Heck, Jr.
