A deputy estimated the speed of the mid-size car, with six teenagers crammed inside, at “70 to 80 miles per hour.” A written statement from a passenger in the car said “we were laughing and having a good time” prior to the crash.
After the car ended up in the field, five passengers exited the car and the sixth tried to drive it out of the field but instead rolled it on its side in a creek, where it came to a stop in 2 to 3 feet of water.
The passengers were identified as Paige Harner, 16, of West Milton; Kyle Plantz, 19, of Troy; Nicholas Brown, 16, of Troy; Sarah Dubent, 16, of Troy, and Zachary Crump of Troy.
