Accident Claims Life Of Hilliard Student

Franklin County Sheriff's deputies say a 15-year-old boy was killed late Wednesday and four other teens injured when their car crashed in Brown Township. Deputies identify the deceased as David Phillips III. The driver, 16-year-old Trent Burchett and three other passengers - 16-year-old Joshua Jaccaud, 14-year-old Ian Latorrie and 15-year-old Alex Stemple - are hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. Deputies say Burchett lost control, went off of Amity Road, hit a fence and rolled over. The teens were members of the Hilliard Bradley High School marching band. The school says they were on a break from practice.
