Medics were called around 8:45 p.m. to the 6500 block of Conway Drive, just west of Enon Road.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Springfield Post, Jason Brumfield, 25, of Enon was driving a silver Chevrolet Malibu east on Conway Drive, which was unlit, when he struck four people in the eastbound side of the road.
