2 Killed, 1 Injured in Darke County Car Accident
The Darke County Sheriff's Office said two people in a Chevrolet Aveo died in the rollover crash on North Star Fort Loramie Road.
Two people were killed and a third person was hurt in a car crash on North Star Fort Loramie Road in Darke County on November 9, according to the Darke County Sheriff's Office.
How the North Star Fort Loramie Road Crash Unfolded
The crash was first reported just after 9 a.m. on Monday near the intersection with Versailles Yorkshire Road. The sheriff's office said a Dodge Charger traveling east on the road struck a Chevrolet Aveo in the same lane. The sheriff's office said the Aveo then left the road on its left side and overturned several times.
The Aveo's driver, Kenneth Goubeuax, 66, of Osgood, and his front-seat passenger, Rita Goubeaux, 97, also of Osgood, were both ejected. Goubeuax was flown by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital and was later pronounced dead. Rita Goubeaux died at the scene. The Charger's driver was treated at the scene and released.
What the Sheriff's Office Investigation Involves
The sheriff's office said its investigation remains ongoing. Its Accident Reconstruction Team and the Darke County Coroner's Office assisted in the work. No charges have been announced.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Ohio usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
