LISBON — A jury trial is now set for March 11 for Bradden Crumrine, the driver in an accident which left a Lisbon teen injured after falling out of the back of a pickup in July 2022.

Crumrine, 21, Cusick Road, Lisbon, appeared in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court recently for a hearing, with Judge Scott Washam continuing the trial that had been scheduled for next week.

The new trial date for March was set, with a status hearing scheduled at 1 p.m. Feb. 29.

Crumrine was indicted last year for four counts of failure to stop after an accident, which were two fourth-degree felonies and two fifth-degree felonies.

The charges all stem from the July 24, 2022 accident that occurred after 3 a.m. on Steubenville Pike Road when Ethan Samuel Hart, who was 16 at the time, of Lisbon, suffered serious injury. He had reportedly been riding in the back of the pickup driven by Crumrine when he fell out.

According to the accident report, Crumrine claimed he didn’t know Hart was in the back of the pickup when his passengers told him to slow down because Hart had fallen out. He went back to the scene and left when he heard the cops were coming. The report also said witnesses told troopers that Crumrine knew Hart was in the pickup. In a subsequent interview, he allegedly admitted he knew Hart was in the bed of the pickup.

Two of the charges, one a fourth-degree felony and one a fifth-degree felony, referred to the injured teen, and two charges referred to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Columbiana County Prosecutor Vito Abruzzino explained the difference between the two counts, saying that one alleges the incident resulted in injury or failure to notify the patrol while the other alleges the defendant knew his actions would result in injury or a failure to notify the patrol.

Both drug charges included a specification for forfeiture of money from a drug case. Summers allegedly possessed methamphetamine and oxycodone, $632, had a stolen gun and possessed a firearm muffler or suppressor on Dec. 27, 2021.
