Madalynn Stewart, 19 joins Lily Grace Clingner (age 17) STOP SIGN

Around noon on December 16, 2022, Lily was driving her light blue Volkswagen Beetle along Dayton-Xenia Road. Two of Lily's friends, both teenagers, were also in the car with her. As Lily approached the intersection with Trebein Road, a dump truck was driving down Trebein Road toward the intersection. A stop sign at the intersection was telling Lily to stop.

Lily failed to see the dump truck driving toward her along the cross-street. She ran the stop sign without slowing down, driving directly into the path of the dump truck. The truck swerved, but was unable to avoid Lily's car.

The dump truck collided with the front driver's side of Lily's vehicle. The dump truck's fender crumpled the driver's side door of the smaller car, showering Lily with broken glass and crushing her body inside the twisted metal. The pretty teen was hurled into the windshield, breaking her skull and neck against the glass. Paramedics arrived quickly, but Lily was declared dead at the scene.
