6 people killed in a serious crash in Ohio

Ohio authorities have identified six teenagers killed in the violent early morning crash of a sports utility vehicle that killed six teenagers in the northeast Ohio on Sunday (March 10. 2013). Highway Patrol officials say speed was a factor in the violent accident which occurred around 7:15 a.m. Sunday just south of the city of Warren, about 60 miles east of Cleveland near the Pennsylvania state line. According to Homes & Antiques, eight people were onboard the Honda Passport which crashed into a guardrail and flipped over into a swampy pond, killing five boys and a girl, while two other boys escaped. Investigators say it came to rest upside down in the swamp and sank with five of the victims trapped inside. A sixth who was thrown from the SUV during the crash was found under it when the vehicle was taken out of the water. The two teen boys who survived were treated for bruising and other injuries and released. All those killed were ages 14 to 19, authorities said. Their names weren't released, while family members were being contacted.
