Lakeview woman faces up to 16 years in prison for car crash that killed teen
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (WCMH) — A Lakeview woman is facing up to 16 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to charges related to the death of a teenager.
Charges were filed against Briana Mohler, 32, in February for the death of 17-year-old Chloe Hodge in a Jan. 25 head-on crash in Logan County. On Tuesday, Mohler pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide, operating a vehicle under the influence and driving under suspension. She faces at least three years in prison, but prosecutors are recommending a sentence that could last as long as 16 years, the Logan County prosecutor’s office said.

Hodge, a junior at Indian Lake High School, was driving a Honda southbound on County Road 130 when she was hit head-on by a Ford driven by Mohler that traveled left of center from the northbound lane.
“Chloe was a bright light who always wanted to help people,” the school district said in a statement. “She was smart, funny, and always quick to lend a hand. Chloe continues to help others as an organ and tissue donor.”
Mohler’s sentencing is scheduled for May 28.
