Second Chardon High School graduate dies day after crash that killed classmate
Posted on June 7, 2017
CHARDON TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A Chardon High School graduate died one day after he was involved in a car crash that killed his classmate.
Jackson Condon, 17, died just before 4 p.m. Wednesday at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, the State Highway Patrol said in a news release. Condon was flown via helicopter to the hospital after he was critically injured in a Tuesday crash on Ohio 44 at Hosford Road.
Dominic Ricci, 18, of Middlefield, was also killed in the crash. Ricci was a passenger in a 2010 Toyota Prius that the Condon was driving, the Highway Patrol said.
The Prius failed to stop at the intersection of Ohio 44 just after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday and crashed into a commercial truck, the Highway Patrol said. The truck's driver, a 46-year-old man, was not injured.
Chardon Local Schools Superintendent Michael P. Hanlon Jr. said Ricci and the Condon were recent graduates of Chardon High School. Counselors and schools personnel were available Tuesday and Wednesday at the school, he said in a statement.
"The thoughts and prayers of all of us at Chardon Schools are with the families of these two outstanding young men during this difficult time," Hanlon said in the statement. "Our entire school community will continue to support the families, and each other, in coping with this terrible tragedy."
The crash happened nine days after another Chardon High School student died from injuries he suffered in a crash in Hunting Valley.
Zachary St. Jean, 16, was critically injured May 25 when his car went off the side of a road and struck a fence. He died May 28, officials said.
Toyota: Software to blame for Prius brake
problems

(excerpt):
Toyota officials described the problem as a "disconnect" in the
vehicle's complex anti-lock brake system (ABS) that causes less
than a one-second lag. With the delay, a vehicle going 60 mph will
have traveled nearly another 90 feet before the brakes begin to
take hold.
