Traffic wrecks have claimed 15 lives on Stark County roads this year - until this weekend when four more were added to the list.
Both drivers were killed in a head-on crash in Jackson Township Sunday evening. Lt. Ty Bissler says Jacob Posey, 20, of North Canton was passing another vehicle on Woodlawn Avenue N.W. at what witnesses described as a "high rate of speed." Posey successfully got in front of the other vehicle, but went too far before overcorrecting and winding up in the path of a car driven by Terry Metz, 52, of Jackson Township.
Metz was pronounced dead at the scene and Posey was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center a short time later. Metz's wife is still recovering at Mercy Medical Center from her non life-threatening injuries. Two passengers in Posey's car, ages 16 and 17, were treated for minor injuries and released.
Bissler says the crash remains under investigation.
