Man to face charges in fatal crash

Staff report

WARREN

A Trumbull County grand jury has indicted David Eubank of Newton Falls on two counts of aggravated-vehicular homicide and two counts of aggravated vehicular assault.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the 24-year-old was driving a car that hit two trees along North Leavitt Road in Warren Township on Nov. 28, killing two passengers. If convicted, he faces up to 26 years in prison.

Eubank, of Arhaven Drive, was driving a 1997 Ford Mustang at a “very high rate of speed” when the vehicle left the road, hit the trees and split into two pieces that tumbled down an embankment, according to the state patrol.

Eubank’s blood-alcohol level after the 2:20 a.m. accident near Canoe City was 0.203, which is more than two times the legal limit of 0.08.

Passengers Benjamin Bosley, 25, of Leavittsburg, and Rory J. Drnek, 25, of Mansfield, were pronounced dead at the scene. Eubank and passengers Michael Lester, 24, of Leavittsburg, and Amber Hann, 23, of Newton Falls, were taken to area hospitals but survived.

Eubank will be arraigned in common pleas court at 11 a.m. April 12.
