Marietta Times, dated Saturday, April 26, 2003 Woodsfield teen dies in crash on
Ohio 26
David James Lancaster, 15, of
Woodsfield, a freshman at Monroe Central High School, was killed after school
Thursday, two miles north of Woodsfield on Ohio 26, when he apparently lost
control of the car he was driving and struck a tree. Two passengers, a boy and
a girl, also minors, were injured in the one-car accident, but treated and
released, one at a Columbus hospital, the other at Barnesville Hospital. The accident was reported at 3:35 p.m. by a
nearby resident who heard the crash.
Lancaster did not have an Ohio
driver's license or even a temporary permit, Trooper Joe Weaver, of the St.
Clairesville post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, investigating officer, said
Friday. Also, Lancaster was not wearing a seat belt, likely the reason he was
partially ejected from the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser he was driving. "The thing is, we don't think he would
have been killed, or even seriously injured, if he had been wearing a seat
belt," Weaver said. The officer
said head injuries as a result of the crash are likely the cause of death.
One of the boy's passengers
remembers wearing a seat belt; the other had no recollection, the officer said.
Their injuries were minor, although one was taken to Columbus by Life Flight
before being treated and released.
Weaver said at this time excessive speed is suspected as the cause of
Lancaster losing control. "It
looks like he lost control of the vehicle, overcorrected, rolled and went off
the right side of the road, finally struck a tree, and the car ended up on its
top," the officer said.
Friends will be received at Watters
Funeral Home, Woodsfield, from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday, with services at 1 p.m.
Monday. Pastor Bob McQuellen is officiating. Burial will follow in Oaklawn
Cemetery.
Lancaster, the son of John Jones,
of Stow, and Sharon Montgomery Jones, of Woodsfield, was born in Steubenville
Sept. 1, 1987. Surviving, in addition to his parents, are three sisters, Ashley
Lancaster, of Woodsfield; Tiffany Jones and Kimberly Jones, both of Stow; a
brother, Jesse Jones, of Stow; maternal grandparents, David and Sandra
Montgomery, of Woodsfield; and paternal grandparents, Dean and Sue Jones, of
