Fairborn teens identified as 2 others killed in Guernsey County crash

Friday afternoon, troopers said Wesley Merrick, 55, and Alicia Eve Cornell, 46, both of Wellsville, N.Y., were the people who died at the scene of the crash.

Merrick was driving the SUV involved in the crash. Cornell was a passenger.
