MONROE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A 19-year-old is dead after a single-vehicle crash Saturday night in Monroe Township, Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
Just after 9:50 p.m., Noah Walton was driving a 1998 GMC Sierra while heading west on Bethel-New Richmond Road near Little Indian Trail.
According to OSHP, Walton's vehicle failed to make a curve and drove off the right side of the road. The vehicle then struck an embankment and a tree before overturning onto its side.
Walton was pronounced dead at the scene, OSHP said.
New Richmond Schools released a statement on social media saying Walton was a high school senior in the district.
"This is a tragic and senseless loss of life," Superintendent Tracey Miller said. "As we have unfortunately done too many times, let's rally behind Noah's family and the high school community as we mourn another life gone too quickly."
The statement said there is a crisis team at New Richmond High School to help students and staff process their grief.
The crash remains under investigation by OSHP's Batavia Post.
OSHP was assisted by the Monroe Township Fire and EMS, the Clermont County Sheriff's Department as well as the Clermont County Coroner's Office.
