Four teenagers killed in car crash

CELINA, Ohio (AP) — Four teenagers died early Saturday when a man drove a car through a stop sign on a rural road and collided with their vehicle, police said.

The crash occurred just before 3 a.m. in Marion Township in western Ohio’s Mercer County, Sheriff Jeff Grey said in a statement.

Nicholas Schwieterman, 22, of Chicksaw was the driver of the Pontiac Bonneville that went through the stop sign, Grey said. He faces four counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and was being held Saturday on a $1 million bond, he said.

Schweiterman’s passenger, 21-year-old Kyle Schmitmeyer of Celina, has been accused of obstructing official business by interfering with the investigation at the scene. He was free Saturday after posting bond.

Both men were treated for minor injuries.

Killed in the crash were: Jordan Moeller, 18, of Celina, the driver of the Pontiac Grand Prix hit by Schwieterman; Jordan Diller, 19, of Maria Stein; Jordan Goettemoeller, 19, of Maria Stein; and Bradley Roeckner, 19, of Celina.
