Car Fleeing Traffic Stop Crashes, Killing Two

Franklin County Sheriff's deputies say a vehicle fleeing a traffic stop Sunday ran off the road, killing the driver and an adult passenger and injuring two children. 

Deputies say the driver, 35-year-old Yoni Martinez, fled at a high rate of speed and apparently lost control on State Route 762 west of Walker Road in Commerical Point. Authorities have not released the name of the passenger who was killed nor the names of the  children, who are  hospitalized in stable condition. The crash remains under investigation.
