Data Recorder Recovered from Fatal Crash

The Zanesville Post of the State Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation into a crash that killed five people last week on Interstate 70.

According to Sergeant Jeremy Mendenhall, Monday the Patrol obtained the onboard data recorder for 23-year-old Tiffany Irwin’s vehicle from the Muskingum County impound lot.

Sgt. Mendenhall says that recorder is being sent to the Patrol’s Crash Reconstruction Unit, so they can answer questions as to what may have caused the fatal crash.

Irwin, her 7-month-old daughter Ava Nessline, 3-year-old son Dallas Wickham, her mother 41-year-old Maria Barnhill and uncle 39-year-old Scott Skeens, were all killed when her car went across the median on Interstate 70 and struck a mini-van.
