| Ohio family loses their lives on this Christmas day. |
Four people are dead and three others are in critical following a single-car crash in Dayton, Ohio.
The crash happened around 11am. Three adults and one juvenile were killed in this accident.
Three other victims were taken to local hospitals.
The impact of the crash caused the car to split into two parts and catch fire, Ohio State Patrol confirms. The OSP, Dayton Police and Montgomery County boys are doing investigation into whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol.
"Oh my god. It's on fire. The car is on fire," said a witness.
The identities weren't confirmed but one family member said they think they know the victim.
The witness that say the accident said the driver was erratic. She didn't realize that the car was stuffed with individuals.
"Somebody just took a baby out of the car. There's two kids. They've taken two kids. They've got three kids out of the car."
One witness who went into the public addressed the accident.
"I just seen the car zig-zagging down the street and just hit the tree and blew up! Split in half," said Shameka Littlejohn after she made a call to 9-1-1.
The car's frame left behind was barely recognizable. A mental bench was toppled, a tree damaged and a fire hydrant knocked over.
OSP and Dayton Police conclude that the accident was on the worst crashes they've seen in awhile.
Every holiday season, folks lose their lives to vehicular accidents. At least 2,000 people die on America's roads. This incident in our community just adds on to the number.
"I was very shaken up. I was scared. I was trying to get them help as soon as possible," said Littlejohn.
