Dylan Sougstad, 17-Year-Old from Cincinnati, Tragically Dies in a Head-On Collision on State Route 741 in Turtlecreek, OH
A tragic accident occurred on the night of March 13th, 2026, when 17-year-old Dylan Sougstad from Cincinnati lost his life in a devastating head-on collision on State Route 741 in Turtlecreek Township, Ohio. The crash took place just before 10 p.m., near milepost 6, on a quiet stretch of the road where families were preparing for the weekend.
Dylan was driving a 2019 Tesla Model 3 southbound when the vehicle drifted left of the center line and collided with a 2020 GMC Terrain driven by 53-year-old Chastity Smith from Trenton. The force of the impact sent both vehicles off the road, scattering wreckage across both shoulders.
Despite the quick arrival of first responders, both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. The stretch of SR 741 was closed for hours as investigators worked to clear the debris and document the scene.
Dylan’s passing has deeply affected those who knew him. Classmates, family members, and friends have shared heartfelt tributes, remembering him as a kind and spirited young person with a bright future. One close friend shared, “Dylan had so many dreams ahead of him, and his kindness left a lasting impression on everyone.”
Funeral arrangements and details about memorial services will be announced soon, as family and friends come together to honor Dylan’s memory and support each other through this incredibly difficult time.
