Lt. Boyd said the car was driven by 64-year-old Phillip Hackenbracht of Coshocton. A front seat passenger in the car, 21-year-old Nadine Corder of Coshocton, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her 4-year-old son, Aries Laflin, was in the back seat. He was transported to Genesis Hospital in Zanesville where he later died of his injuries. Mr. Hackenbracht was flown by a MEDFlight helicopter to Grant Hospital in Columbus where he remains in critical condition. The driver of the semi, 63-year-old James Stevens of Coshocton, was transported to Genesis Hospital where he was treated and later released.

Lt. Boyd said restraints were used by all those involved in the crash.  No alcohol or drugs are suspected to be factors in the crash which remains under investigation.
