A 10-year-old Scioto County boy killed by a motorist that didn't stop was one of 15 traffic fatalities on Ohio highways this weekend out of a total of 17 accidental deaths in the state.

The boy, Keith Frye, Rt. 2, Lucasville, was struck on Ohio 139 near New Boston Saturday night. More than 100 tips from residents led to the arrest Sunday of Paul Martin, 19, of Minford, whom state hightway patrolmen charged with hit-skip driving. The patrol said a manslaughter charge would be filed later.
