A speeding sport utility vehicle taken without permission and carrying eight teenagers crashed into a guardrail, flipping over into a swampy pond, killing five boys and a woman, state police said.
The Honda Passport veered off the left side of a road last morning and overturned near the city of Warren, about 95 kilometers east of Cleveland, Lt. Anne Ralston said.
Investigators say it came to rest upside down in the swamp and sank with five of the victims trapped inside. A sixth, who was thrown from the SUV during the crash, was found under it when the vehicle was taken out of the water. No one in the vehicle, owned by a local resident, had permission to take it, Holt said.
