DAYTON, Ohio —
Authorities in Dayton said prosecutors have approved formal charges against a Florida man who is accused of killing two people early Saturday morning in a crash.
The crash happened at the intersection of Wayne and Wilmington avenues in Dayton around 1:45 a.m.
Prosecutors announced Monday afternoon that they have approved formal charges against Robert Finkley, 29, of Florida. He was charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide.
Police said Corey Cooper, 18, of Dayton, and Christina Jackson, 20, of Riverside were killed in the crash. Jackson, who was driving, was pronounced dead at the scene, while Cooper was pronounced dead a short time later at a local hospital. Both died from blunt force trauma.
Jackson was a Carroll High School graduate and Cooper was a senior this year at the school.
More than 400 students attended a memorial service for Cooper and Jackson at Carroll on Saturday, according to principal Mark Sableski. Guidance counselors and campus ministers will be available for students on Monday. Alter High School has also made counselors available.
A synopsis of a police report said Finkley was southbound on Wayne Avenue and collided with the driver’s side door of Jackson’s car. The impact sent her car up in the air where it landed on top of the new three-foot brick wall in front of 10 Wilmington Place. Both drivers were trapped, with Jackson being declared dead. Cooper was ejected and later declared dead.
