Trooper AJ Torres of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said that Hernandez had been traveling north on 58 before he lost control and went off the right side of the road. The van flipped before coming to rest on its side. And before you ask, no, there were no newspapers in the van at the time of the crash.Hernandez will likely be charged with failure to control.
