Licking County crash near Granville kills Newark man, injures two people
A Newark man is dead and two others suffered injuries in a crash near Granville in Licking County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said. The crash happened at 6:56 p.m. Aug. 19, on State Route 661 between Smoketown Road and Lake Fork Road, a highway patrol lieutenant said. A northbound Honda Civic on State Route 661 left the right side of the road before returning and crossing the center line into southbound lanes, the highway patrol said. A Jeep wrangler driving south on State Route 661 swerved to avoid the Honda, but the vehicles collided, according to the highway patrol. The Honda overturned, ejecting two occupants. The Jeep struck a mailbox at the side of the road. William Coss, 46, of Newark, died at the scene, the highway patrol said.

EMS treated and released the Jeep driver, a 55-year-old woman from Newark, at the scene, according to the highway patrol.

Nicaraguan man illegally in US facing ‘enhanced' charges after drunken hit-and-run: sheriff
A Nicaraguan man in the United States illegally is facing 'enhanced' charges – due to his immigration status – in Florida for a drunken hit-and-run over the weekend, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Grady Judd said deputies arrested Roberto Sandobal-Lopez, 34, on Saturday after he crashed his white Honda into someone's fence in Winter Haven at around 7 p.m. and walked off. Deputies were alerted to the crash after witnesses called the sheriff's office to report the incident. Sandobal-Lopez was found by law enforcement walking in the nearby area shortly after the crash and deputies determined he was intoxicated. His eyes were described as 'watery' and 'bloodshot,' and deputies said they could smell alcohol. When he was asked if he had been drinking, Sandobal-Lopez allegedly said he drank six bottles of Modelo a few hours earlier at around 5 p.m. 3 Nicaraguan national Roberto Sandobal-Lopez, 34, was arrested in Polk County, Florida, on Saturday after driving drunk, crashing into someone's fence and fleeing the scene. Polk County Sheriff's Office Two samples during a breath test revealed BAC levels of 0.13 and 0.124, according to the PCSO. Field sobriety tests also showed 'several signs of impairment,' the sheriff's office said. Sandobal-Lopez was taken to the Polk County Jail and charged with DUI with property damage, driving under the influence, leaving the scene of the crash with property damage and not having a driver's license. 3 Sandobal-Lopez allegedly told Polk County deputies that he drank six bottles of Modelo beer about two hours before he crashed his car into someone's fence and fled the scene. Christopher Sadowski His charges have been upgraded by one degree because he is in the US illegally, which makes his 'DUI with property damage' charge a third-degree felony. The remaining charges are all first-degree misdemeanors. Sheriff Grady Judd said in a Facebook post that Sandobal-Lopez will remain in jail until he is picked up by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 3 Sheriff Grady Judd said in a Facebook post that Sandobal-Lopez will remain in jail until he's picked up by ICE. Polk County Sheriff's Office Judd said it's fortunate that only a fence was damaged during the drunken drive and called Sandobal-Lopez a coward for walking away from 'the scene and responsibility.' The sheriff also reiterated that being in the US illegally is a crime and, in Florida, immigration status will impact the severity of criminal charges. 'In Florida, if you're committing the crime of being here illegally, your other criminal charges are enhanced one degree; he's now facing a serious felony because he caused damage to property while driving under the influence,' Judd said.
