Twinsburg, OH – A 22-year-old man is dead following a multi-vehicle crash Tuesday night along Interstate 480 in Twinsburg, prompting an ongoing investigation and multiple criminal charges.
According to the Twinsburg Police Department, officers responded around 9:17 p.m. Tuesday to the eastbound lanes of I-480 near the 37-mile marker for reports of a serious crash involving three vehicles. Upon arrival, authorities located a rollover crash scene involving a Honda CR-V and two other vehicles.
Preliminary findings indicate a Mitsubishi Outlander allegedly failed to yield while entering the highway, striking the Honda CR-V as it traveled eastbound. The impact reportedly caused the Honda to overturn onto its roof before being struck again by another eastbound vehicle, forcing it back upright.
Investigators say a backseat passenger inside the Honda, identified as a 22-year-old male from Salem, Ohio, was ejected during the rollover and pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities allege that Steven Neff, 37, of Streetsboro, was involved in the crash and has been arrested in connection with the incident. Neff is facing multiple charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide, three counts of aggravated vehicular assault, operating a vehicle under the influence, reckless operation, and entering a roadway improperly. Police say Neff will be arraigned Wednesday in Stow Municipal Court.
The Summit County Sheriff’s Office confirmed deputies assisted at the scene, while the Summit Metro Crash Response Team continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Officials have not released additional details as the investigation remains ongoing. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling through the area as authorities continue their work.
