Two killed in separate Clermont County crashes

A two-vehicle crash in Goshen Township left a Midland man dead Saturday night.

Around 7:15 p.m. in Goshen Township, Austin Shell, of Midland, was driving eastbound in a Ford F-250 on Ohio 28.

Linda Pindell, of Midland, was also traveling eastbound on Ohio 28 in a Kia Soul.

Shell's F-250 traveled off the right side of the roadway and sideswiped Pindell's car. Shell then went off the left side of the road, hitting a fence and a tree.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Pindell was not injured in the crash.

Another person was killed in a single-vehicle crash a few hours later in Monroe Township.

Noah Walton, 19, was driving westbound on Bethel-New Richmond Road around 9:53 p.m. when his GMC Sierra failed to negotiate a curve.

The pickup truck then went off the right side of roadway. It hit an embankment and a tree before overturning on its side.

Walton was pronounced dead at the scene.
