NEWTON TWP., Miami County — A 16-year-old Covington boy was killed on Sunday, Nov. 15, in a two-vehicle crash at Ohio 48 and Sugar Grove Road, county officials said.

Robert D. Lyle was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which was reported at 3:09 p.m., according to Miami County sheriff’s deputy Mike Marion.
