A vigil was held Tuesday night for the two recent Dublin Scioto High School graduates who died Sunday night when their car crashed into a utility pole on Sawmill Road. A third teen, who is a current student at the high school, was injured in the crash but is expected to survive.
According to the Columbus Division of Police, 18-year-old Joshua Marr was driving southbound on Sawmill Road when he lost control of his vehicle, crossed the center line and hit a utility pole. Marr and 17-year-old Bder Al Saadon were pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash occurred just weeks before the victims were set to begin college.
On Tuesday night, candles lined part of Sawmill Road where the tragic crash took place, as the Dublin Scioto community mourned the loss of two young lives.
"They were literally about to go to college in just a few weeks," said Victor Nyuma, a 2024 graduate of Dublin Scioto High School and former football teammate of the victims.
"They just graduated high school. They had their whole life ahead of them," added Kebba Sowe, another 2024 graduate and former teammate.
The victims were remembered fondly by their former football teammates, who graduated alongside them in 2024. Adonis Norman, Malahki Jackson, Sowe and Nyuma all played on the team with the two who died.
"They were good friends. They always had a smile on their face, always joking around," Norman said.
"They were just nice to everybody every time I seen them, they were just happy to me, they were always smiling," Sowe recalled.
