JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WOIO) - Police said they have located the driver who caused a fatal accident in November and then fled the scene.
Jackson Township police said on Nov. 21 around 10:30 p.m., Abigail Vanest, 23, of Canton, was driving northbound on Woodlawn Avenue, when her vehicle was struck while she was turning left onto Woodlawn Circle NW.
Vanest’s car then hit a utility pole and rolled over, said police.
CANTON When it s cold and snowy outside, Chris Garloch is reminded of her brother s death.
Thoughts fill her head of the pain and suffering Mark Billiter went through in April 2018 after he wandered away undetected from Glenwood Care and Rehabilitation in Canton.
Billiter, 56, was found frozen to death two days later next to a small building outside a self-serve gas station on Louisville Street NE, about four miles from the nursing facility.
Garloch said her brother had dementia and lacked the ability to make choices to keep him safe. That is why he was in a secure area of Glenwood, she said.
