Woodsfield teen dies in crash on Ohio 26
David
James Lancaster, 15, of Woodsfield, a freshman at Monroe Central High School,
was killed after school Thursday, two miles north of Woodsfield on Ohio 26,
when he apparently lost control of the car he was driving and struck a tree.
Two
passengers, a boy and a girl, also minors, were injured in the one-car
accident, but treated and released, one at a Columbus hospital, the other at
Barnesville Hospital.
The
accident was reported at 3:35 p.m. by a nearby resident who heard the crash.
Lancaster
did not have an Ohio driver's license or even a temporary permit, Trooper Joe
Weaver, of the St. Clairesville post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, investigating
officer, said Friday. Also, Lancaster was not wearing a seat belt, likely the
reason he was partially ejected from the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser he was
driving.
"The
thing is, we don't think he would have been killed, or even seriously injured,
if he had been wearing a seat belt," Weaver said.
The
officer said head injuries as a result of the crash are likely the cause of
death.
One
of the boy's passengers remembers wearing a seat belt; the other had no
recollection, the officer said. Their injuries were minor, although one was
taken to Columbus by Life Flight before being treated and released.
Weaver
said at this time excessive speed is suspected as the cause of Lancaster losing
control.
"It
looks like he lost control of the vehicle, overcorrected, rolled and went off
the right side of the road, finally struck a tree, and the car ended up on its
top," the officer said.
Friends
will be received at Watters Funeral Home, Woodsfield, from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday,
with services at 1 p.m. Monday. Pastor Bob McQuellen is officiating. Burial
will follow in Oaklawn Cemetery.
Lancaster,
the son of John Jones, of Stow, and Sharon Montgomery Jones, of Woodsfield, was
born in Steubenville Sept. 1, 1987. Surviving, in addition to his parents, are
three sisters, Ashley Lancaster, of Woodsfield; Tiffany Jones and Kimberly
Jones, both of Stow; a brother, Jesse Jones, of Stow; maternal grandparents,
David and Sandra Montgomery, of Woodsfield; and paternal grandparents, Dean and
