In the hush of early Sunday morning, tragedy unfolded on Interstate 70 in Huber Heights when a wrong-way crash claimed three lives, leaving a community reeling. The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office has now identified the victims: 55-year-old Doniell Snow, and two 18-year-olds, Natalie Daly and Nevin Vince.
It all began just after 1:13 a.m. on October 5, when Snow, driving a Chevrolet Tahoe, entered the eastbound lanes via the exit ramp from State Route 201 — but headed west, directly into oncoming traffic. His SUV first struck a Honda Accord, then barreled about half a mile in the wrong direction before colliding head-on with a Chevy Trax carrying Natalie Daly and Nevin Vince. A Chevy Malibu also became part of the wreckage.
The impact was catastrophic. The Trax erupted in flames almost immediately, and first responders arrived to a nightmare of twisted metal, fire, and debris strewn nearly a mile and a half. All three—Snow, Daly, and Vince—were pronounced dead at the scene. The Malibu’s driver had already exited when medics arrived and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Friends, family and the wider community are still in shock, especially knowing that Natalie and Nevin were local residents — just finishing high school and full of life. The two had been in the Trax together when the crash occurred, and their bond was widely felt in their hometown. A candlelight vigil held at Greenon Stadium drew hundreds who came to share grief, light candles, and hold onto the good memories they carry of the pair.
Investigators are digging into how Snow ended up driving the wrong way. Based on social media evidence, video footage, and witness statements, law enforcement believes he may have visited a bar earlier that night. At least one witness said they felt as though the Tahoe’s driver was intentionally steering toward them, even adjusting lanes to match theirs — though officials caution nothing is confirmed yet.
Officials estimate that Snow may have been traveling near 80 mph when the collision with the Trax occurred. Combined with head-on impact forces, the violence of that moment left no chance for survival. Forensics teams are continuing their work — reviewing traffic camera footage, examining vehicles for mechanical failures, and tracing Snow’s activities in the hours before the crash.
Now, as the community mourns three lives lost, law enforcement urges the public to remain vigilant — to report any wrong-way drivers immediately and to recognize how fragile things can be under the cloak of night. The full crash report is still forthcoming, and investigators say they will release further findings when the time is right.
