WAYNE TOWNSHIP, Columbiana Co, Ohio

James D. "Jamie" Nign and his wife, Meghann Nign, were killed in a fatal car crash on Sunday at approximately 10:54 a.m. in Wayne Township.

According to reports, a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by 31-year-old Rachel K. Lindesmith of Hanoverton was traveling east on State Route 518, when she traveled left of center and struck a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox that was traveling in the opposite direction.

Lindesmith and her 9-month-old son, Austin were transported to Salem Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Lindesmith was transferred to St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Youngstown. The highway patrol says Lindesmith was wearing a safety belt and her son was secured in a rear facing child safety seat.

The Equinox was carrying nine people, including the driver, 39-year-old James D Nign of Calcutta, and his 27 year old wife Meghann who were both killed. 11-year-old Addisyn Benzel of Minerva, who was a passenger in the Nign vehicle, was ejected from the vehicle and killed.

The report says neither of the Nigns were wearing seat belts, and no seat belt was available for Addisyn Benzel.

The highway patrol report identified the other occupants of the Nign vehicle as follows:

McKenna M. Nign, age 11, no restraint available, transported to Akron Children's Hospital.
