FATAL CRASH INVESTIGATION
On September 1, 2025, at approximately 4:03 AM, Shawnee Township Police and Fire Department responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash within the 5100 block of State Route 117 (Spencerville Road).
The investigation revealed that the driver and sole occupant, Owen Conley, a 17- year-old from Spencerville, was operating a 2008 Honda Accord west on S.R. 117. The vehicle traveled off the north side of the roadway, struck an embankment, collided with a tree, and overturned before coming to rest. Owen Conley was pronounced deceased on scene.
Mr. Conley was not wearing a seat belt, and alcohol is believed to be a factor.
Assisting Shawnee Township on scene were the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Allen County Coroner's Office, Shawnee Township EMS, and Army's Towing.
This crash is still under investigation.
