OHP: Two Dead After Rollover Crash Near Woodward

Two people are dead and two others are injured following a rollover crash Friday night near Woodward. And another passenger, 18-year-old Keeley Stafford, was transported to a local hospital listed in critical condition. One passenger, identified as 23-year-old Garrett Smith, was transferred to a local hospital and is listed in stable condition. Troopers have identified the victims as 20-year-old Alyssa Ramirez and 18-year-old Keela Edwards. Three passengers were thrown from the vehicle including Ramirez and Edwards.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
