The three teens killed in the high-speed crash of a stolen
SUV early Saturday have been identified. The Cuyahoga County Coroner identified the

The other five occupants of the vehicle were also injured –
two of them critically. The vehicle had been reported stolen from Maple

An overnight accident sent an SUV full of people into
a building on Cleveland’s east side – killing three people, critically injuring
two and injuring three others.
The three victims have been identified as Diamond Williams,
17, Damond Lawrence, 19, and Demonta Wilson, 13.
A police spokesman tells Fox 8 that 8 people were in the
Honda Pilot, which was traveling at “excessive speed” eastbound on Kinsman
when the driver lost control.
The car
struck a utility pole and then slammed into a brick wall of a building at East
117th and Kinsman Road around 3:30 a.m. The vehicle was reported stolen from
Maple Heights.
Power in the area is still out, but crews are working to
restore it. The intersection itself was closed for a number of hours, but has
since re-opened.
