STONY RIDGE, Ohio — Two people are dead and one person was booked into the Wood County Jail after a crash on U.S. 20 on Saturday evening.
The crash happened at the Lemoyne Road overpass just east of Stony Ridge around 7 p.m. causing the Wood County Sheriff's Office to close down Fremont Pike in both directions.
According to the sheriff's office, the crash involved three vehicles and resulted in two fatalities.
An investigation showed that a Kia Soul being driven by Samantha Hammons, of Toledo, was traveling westbound at a high rate of speed when it struck the rear end of a Ford Fusion traveling in the same direction. The impact caused the Ford Fusion to spin across the road sideways into the eastbound lane where it was struck by an eastbound Dodge Journey.
The occupants of the Ford Fusion, Jacob Hahn, of Woodville, and Savannah Harding, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Hammons, 55, was arrested and booked into the Wood County Jail on Sunday and charged with two counts of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide. She is being held on a $500,000 bond and is due back in court on Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
