Circleville man and 15-year-old boy dead after crash

PICKAWAY COUNTY, Ohio — A 15-year-old boy and a 46-year-old man died Wednesday after a crash in south Pickaway County, according to the sheriff's office.

The two-vehicle crash occurred on Kingston Adelphi Road near State Route 159 in Pickaway Township around 7:30 p.m.

The Pickaway County Sheriff's Office said the teen, John Curtis, was driving a Hyundai eastbound with Joe Curtis in the passenger seat when he left the right side of the road. John allegedly overcorrected and the vehicle entered the westbound lane of traffic.

When the Hyundai entered the other lane, it struck a Ford 350.

Deputies say when the vehicles collided, the Hyundai went into a ditch and the Ford then came to rest in it.

John and Joe were trapped in the Hyundai, the sheriff's office said.

When first responders arrived, they removed John from the vehicle. He was flown to Grant Medical Center and then to Nationwide Children's Hospital where he died three days later.

Joe was pronounced dead at the scene by medics.

The driver of the truck was treated and released at the scene.

The accident is still under investigation.
