Greenville Township, OH (January 16, 2024) – Authorities in Greenville Township have identified the victim of a deadly crash that took place earlier this week. The collision was reported just before 5:00 p.m at the intersection of U.S. Route 127 and Children’s Home-Bradford Road on Monday, January 15th.
According to an initial report, 63-year-old Terek Salama was driving a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser eastbound on Children’s Home-Bradford Road when he came to the intersection with US Highway 127. Salama tried to cross the intersection but as he entered, he collided with a 2004 Dodge truck that was traveling northbound. The driver of the Dodge truck was identified as 22-year-old Randall Hellgriel. A passenger in Hellgriel’s truck was identified as 22-year-old Jacob Greer. Greer, of Miamisburg, suffered critical injuries and died at the scene. 22-year-old Kellie Bowman, also a passenger in the Dodge, was taken to the hospital for treatment, along with a female child. There is no word on whether any other injuries were reported.

We want to offer our thoughts and condolences to the family of Jacob Greer following this fatal car accident in Greenville Township.

Many of these victims were killed in crashes that were not their fault and were caused by the actions of negligent drivers.
