Crash kills second person in a week in Clearcreek Twp.

A 42-year-old Beavercreek man was the second driver killed in the past week in a fatal crash in Clearcreek Twp.

Shane C. Jackson was pronounced dead about 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Ohio 48 and Lytle-Five Points Road, near the Warren-Montgomery county border, according to police.

Jackson, a teacher at the Montgomery County Juvenile Center, was married with daughters, Emma, 11, and Sarah, 9, according to family members. He, wife Dorothy and the girls lived with in-laws on Pascal Drive in Beavercreek.

“They were all living here, saving money to buy a house,” his mother-in-law, Marge McGrew, said Monday.

Jackson graduated from Waynesville High School in 1989 and Wright State University in 1999, McGrew said.

“It is a shock,” McGrew said. “He’ll be dearly missed.”

On Saturday, Jackson died after witnesses said he failed to stop his westbound 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier for a stop sign at Ohio 48 and Lytle-Five Points. Jackson’s car was hit by a northbound 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 driven by John Mulcahy, 54, of Dayton.

Both vehicles went off the road and overturned. Mulcahy was taken to Kettering Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Jackson was within a mile of a friend’s home in Clearcreek Twp., police said. They planning to have dinner together, McGrew said.

Police were investigating whether other factors could have contributed to the fatal crash. No citations had been issued, Clearcreek Twp. Police Chief John Terrill said Tuesday.

Although drivers have good visibility, the intersection is “one of our top-five accident intersections in the township,” Terrill said.

Jackson was less than a half-mile east of where Attorney Adrienne Hrenko, 33, of Clearcreek Twp.. died in a fatal crash on last Tuesday night. Hrenko died in a one-car crash. Alcohol is suspected in that crash, police said Monday.

On Monday, police said they were awaiting toxicology reports on Hrenko, who practiced law as Adrienne Brooks, based on reports she had been drinking, when her speeding car went off Lytle-Five Points Road near Five Points Elementary School.

“We do know she was consuming just prior to the accident,” Police Chief John Terrill said.
