According to the Columbus Division of Fire, the crash happened at the intersection of Gender Road and West Waterloo Street around 6:50 p.m.

CANAL WINCHESTER, Ohio — A man and a juvenile were killed in a crash in Canal Winchester Monday evening. Authorities say speed may have been a factor in the crash.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said a 2016 Tesla Model S was heading west on West Waterloo Street, just east of Gender Road. The Tesla did not stop at a stop sign, crossed Gender Road and struck a 2015 Buick Enclave traveling south on Gender Road.

The driver of the Buick, 63-year-old Wayne Smith, and a juvenile passenger in the same vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene. A woman who was also a passenger inside the Buick was taken to Mount Carmel East in serious condition.

The driver of the Tesla was taken to Grant Medical Center and his condition was described as stable.

OSHP did not say whether charges will be filed in the crash, which remains under investigation.
