OSP: Impairment suspected in fatal crash

The driver of an SUV that hit another passenger vehicle carrying a grandfather and granddaughter, killing them both, is being investigated for possible criminal charges, an OSP commander said Monday.
Richard Gruber, 65, and his granddaughter, Sophia Gruber, 12, were both pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Olivia Gruber, 10, Sophia's younger sister, is at Dayton Children's Hospital. Lewis E. Chambers, 54, of Springfield, was driving a 2004 Ford Explorer north on Dayton-Springfield Road at 3:36 p.m. when he rear-ended a 1999 Ford Taurus driven by Brinda Gruber, 56. The Grubers had stopped to turn west onto South Tecumseh Road at the time of the crash. Brinda Gruber, wife of Richard Gruber and grandmother of the two girls, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton with non life-threatening injuries. Chambers was taken to Soin Medical Center in Beavercreek. His injuries also were not life-threatening. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.

Unfortunately, our court system will probably only give him a slap on the wrist and a warning to drink responsibly in the future!
