Tristin Sherman, 18, and Juan Compton, 21, both die in single-vehicle crash on Columbus Avenue in Springfield, OH; Driver Angel Rojas, 19, flees scene

The driver in a crash that killed two Springfield teens and lead investigators on a lengthy search after he ran away pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide. Rojas previously told the News-Sun he lost control of the vehicle on a curve on Old Columbus Road and over corrected. The charge includes a specification that Rojas was driving on a suspended license at the time of the April 7 crash, Saunders said. While on the run, Rojas cut and dyed his hair and reportedly hid out in stores and restaurant bathrooms in Springfield. Rojas ran from the scene of the fatal crash on Old Columbus Road in Springfield Twp. in the early morning hours of April 7 and hid from investigators for nearly two weeks before he was arrested at a local hotel.

The speed limit is 40 mph in that section of Old Columbus Road. Tristin K. Sherman, 18, a senior at Springfield High School, and Juan S.
