An investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol revealed that a Volvo driven by Clayton Hughes, 26, struck a Chrysler Pacifica driven by Larry Edwards, 77, who was attempting to turn left at the intersection.

Edwards and three people in his car – Stephen Cassel, 72, Richard Coatney, 77, and Turnbull, 66 – died at the scene from their injuries.

Hughes' blood alcohol level at the time of the crash was 0.224, according to an Ohio State Highway Patrol crash report.

No criminal charges have been filed against Hughes.

The suit alleges that Benchmark Industrial Inc., owner of Hughes' car, “negligently entrusted the vehicle” to an “incompetent driver.”

It also alleges that Hughes' actions were “willful, wanton and reckless.”

In a request for a hearing delay, it says the families of others involved in the crash have requested an attorney and may also file a lawsuit.

But it's unclear when those other lawsuits will be filed, the court document says.
