Preliminary investigation indicates the 1996 Ford Taursus was traveling west on Ringwood when Hanger lost control in a curve, over corrected and went off the right side of the road and struck a utility pole before going airborne. The car landed on its top in the middle of the road.
Hanger was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. Goins said driver inattention and speed may have been factors. An autopsy will be performed by the Butler County Coroner’s office today, Oct. 19.
