The juvenile driver who was involved in a fatal crash with a former Hamilton Southeastern High School football star has been placed in custody, the family tells News 8.
On Thursday, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Mason Alexander’s family that the juvenile involved in the crash was detained.
Alexander was a cornerback for the University of Pittsburgh’s football team.
News 8 has reached out to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for additional information.
On March 1, around 9:03 p.m., a BMW occupied by the juvenile driver and Alexander was traveling southbound on Florida Road, near Geist Park and 113th Street. The BMW moved into the northbound lane to pass another vehicle while a Toyota RAV4 was coming northbound at the same time.
The BMW and the Toyota swerved to avoid a collision. Both vehicles drove off the east side of the road.
The Toyota hit a mailbox, while the BMW hit a tree and caught on fire. Alexander died at the scene.
