Two dead in one-car crash in Copley Township


A man and woman died Saturday in a one-car crash, authorities said.

Alec Leatherman, 21, of Wadsworth, and Halle Schmidt, 19, of Copley, both died at the scene of the crash, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

The two about 8:30 p.m. were in a 2006 Nissan 300 Z speeding north on Hametown Road, the patrol said.


The driver lost control north of Copley Road and hit a ditch on the left side of the road. The car careened off the ditch and hit several trees, then flipped and landed on its roof.


Leatherman and Schmidt were trapped inside the car. A hydraulic cutting device was used to extract them.
