The fatal crash occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning on Ensign Road, just west of Girdle Road.

Despite the efforts of emergency responders, Daniel Southall succumbed to his injuries at University Hospital Geauga Medical Center. The driver was rushed to Trumbull Regional Medical Center before being transferred to Akron Children’s Hospital for further treatment.
Investigation and Suspicions
According to Lt. Daniel Morrison of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the investigation into the crash is ongoing. While details about the events leading up to the accident are still unclear, suspicions of alcohol involvement have been raised based on statements from the vehicle’s occupants.
