Speed cited in Campbell crash that killed 2 teens and 21-year-old


CAMPBELL — The car that ran into a house, killing three of the car’s four occupants at the crash scene, was likely going 80 to 90 mph at the time of impact, according to the accident investigator.

“It had to have hit that curb and went airborne,” said Detective Sgt. John Rusnak of the city police department. “The only way it could hit at a downward angle is if it was airborne,” he concluded.

After the car crashed into the house around 5 a.m. Saturday, the fourth occupant of that vehicle, a 17-year-old Campbell boy, was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, where he remained in critical condition Saturday evening.

Two of the deceased are from Campbell and one is from Youngstown, Rusnak said. Dead are a 21-year-old woman, a 17-year-old boy and an 18- or 19-year-old man, Rusnak said.
