CLEVELAND, OH – A high-speed crash involving a stolen vehicle resulted in the deaths of four individuals early Wednesday morning on Cleveland’s West Side, according to law enforcement officials.
The accident occurred around 12:45 a.m. in the 2000 block of West 106th Street when a Hyundai Sonata—reported stolen on February 27 from Wichita Avenue—lost control and crashed into two trees.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner says two of the victims are 14-year-old Kalise McGee and 18-year-old Eddy Deandre Bonner.
Among the deceased are:
- One 18-year-old male (identified as Bonner)
- One 14-year-old female (Kalise McGee)
- Two additional victims, believed to be either juveniles or young adults in their 20s
All four individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Annie Todd stated that city cameras had captured the stolen Hyundai Sonata being driven through multiple areas of the city on Tuesday evening.
At the time of the crash, the driver was heading northbound on West 106th Street at an excessive speed when they lost control of the vehicle.
According to Cleveland EMS, the vehicle was completely destroyed upon impact, and three of the passengers were ejected from the car.
The driver, however, remained inside the wreckage.
Neighbors who heard the violent crash immediately called 911 upon discovering the wreckage and victims.
A resident provided surveillance footage to 19 News, which shows the vehicle traveling at dangerously high speeds just moments before the crash.
Authorities are continuing their investigation, and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office is working to confirm the identities of the remaining victims and notify their families.
