Hit-and-run driver
kills teen, injures 5

A Hubbard High School cheerleader was killed in a hit-and-run at 7:20 p.m. Friday as she was walking with eight friends on state Route 304 near a bed and breakfast inn. Five of the girls who were walking with her were injured.

Kyrsten Studor, 14, of Grandview Avenue, was killed when a red car left the road and struck the girls.

Hubbard High basketball and soccer player Kristina Angelo, 14, was listed in stable condition at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Youngstown.

Yovonne Nelson, 15, was treated at St. Elizabeth's.

Amanda Fisher, 14, and Ellice Hayek, 15, were taken to Northside Hospital in Youngstown, but a hospital spokesperson declined to give information on the girls, saying they were minors.

A fifth girl, Amanda Prommersberger, 14, was also injured. The Ohio State Highway Patrol, which handled the case, said she was taken to St. Elizabeth's, but personnel there had no record of her.

Several of the girls had just attended a high school majorette tryout.

According to the highway patrol, Hubbard Township police assisted in finding a suspected vehicle at Stoneybrook mobile home park on Lewis Seifert Road.

The car was towed to the highway patrol post in Southington, Ohio, police said. The owner of the car was questioned, but no charges have been filed yet.
