A central Ohio mother is without her young daughter and father after the two died in aFamily and friends gathered to celebrate 63-year-old Wayne Smith and 8-year-old Iyoki Robinson and release balloons to honor them."Everywhere he was, she was right there with them," said Elia White, Smith's sister-in-law.
Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers say two vehicles were involved in the crash. Smith was driving one car with Iyoki and his wife as passengers. Troopers report the driver of the other car involved did not stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Gender Road and Waterloo Street and hit Smith's car.
"I was at work when I got the call from mom," said Brittany Wade, Iyoki's aunt. "It really brought me to my knees. I really didn’t even understand at first. I had to put it in thought and go ok this can’t be it.""To lose a child, to lose a father in the same moment is just something you don’t want to wish on anyone," Wade said."She’s a beautiful bright light in our world, and she’ll always be that," Wade said.
Smith's wife, who was a passenger in the car during the crash, survived. She is still in the hospital, and her daughter said she's "fighting" and a "warrior."State troopers said the driver who blew the stop sign and hit their car has not been charged at this time. They are investigating.
