A 16-year-old South Webster teenager was killed Tuesday afternoon after an ATV collided with an SUV on State Route 140 in Bloom Township.
According to a November 10 release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Portsmouth Post troopers were called to the two-vehicle crash at approximately 3:06 p.m.
Investigators said Levi H. Risner, 16, of South Webster, was operating a 2004 Honda TRX350 Four Trax ATV and attempting to make a left turn onto SR 140 from New Globe Road, also known as Township Road 336.
At the same time, a 2026 Ford Bronco driven by Samantha J. Haddox, 44, of Greenup, Kentucky, was traveling southwest on SR 140.
According to the Highway Patrol’s preliminary investigation, the ATV failed to yield while making the left turn and was struck by the Ford Bronco.
Risner suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.
Haddox was transported by Bloom Township Ambulance to Southern Ohio Medical Center with what the Highway Patrol described as minor injuries.
The crash brought multiple emergency agencies to the scene, including the Bloom Township Fire Department, Bloom Township Emergency Ambulance Service and the Scioto County Coroner’s Office.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the crash remains under investigation by the Portsmouth Post.
For families in South Webster and throughout eastern Scioto County, this is another reminder of how quickly an ordinary afternoon on a familiar road can turn into something permanent.
