OHIO (GaeaTimes.com) — East Canton High School students are mourning over 18-year-old Christopher Wheeler, a senior at the school, who was killed in a single car accident late Tuesday night.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol commented that Wheeler was a passenger in a vehicle that was heading southbound on State Route 44 shortly before midnight. During that time, the driver lost control of the car, which went off the left side of the road, and struck a utility pole on the passenger side.

The accident took place near Viking Road, in Osnaburg Township.

Investigators say alcohol is not a factor, and seat belts were in use. So no charges have been filed yet, and the crash remains under investigation.
