Teen pleads not guilty in Ohio crash that killed 2

CINCINNATI (AP) — A southwestern Ohio teenager has been arrested after his not guilty plea to charges of vehicular homicide in the suspected drunken-driving deaths of two other teens.

Still wearing a neck brace as a result of the Sept. 4 crash, 18-year-old Kyle Stein pleaded not guilty to four counts of vehicular homicide today in Hamilton County court.

Court records don’t list an attorney for Stein.

Investigators accuse Stein of being drunk and speeding when he lost control and hit a parked car in Colerain Township. The crash killed his passengers, 16-year-old Rachel McGrath and 19-year-old Eric Moormann.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters says Stein tested positive for alcohol and marijuana.

If convicted, Stein could face up to 16 years in prison and a lifetime revocation of his driver’s license.
