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.
