JACKSON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- One week before Christmas, a 10-year-old girl was killed in an accident Ohio Highway Patrol said was caused by a driver under the influence of drugs. The accident happened on State Route 93 near milepost 10 at 10:00 Saturday morning.

Marsha McGinnis, 28 of Ironton, Angel McGinnis, 10, and Brice McGinnis, 5, were stopped behind another car on 93. According to Highway Patrol, another car rear-ended them -- forcing their car into the one ahead of them.

The McGinnis' car then went into the other lane, where it was struck by oncoming traffic. Marsha, Angel and Brice McGinnis were flown to Cabell-Huntington Hospital. 10-year-old Angel McGinnis was later pronounced dead. The driver that plowed into the McGinnis' car, 29-year-old Christopher Haines, was determined to be under the influence of drugs by the Highway Patrol. He was charged with Aggravated Vehicular Homicide and incarcerated in the Jackson County Correctional Facility.

The jail would not release his picture, because of an "ongoing investigation." All passengers in other cars involved only suffered minor injuries.

Poor girl, she was probably counting down the days til Christmas. Excited for her gifts and maybe visitors from other family members.
Her family is gonna have a hard Christmas this year.
If you wanna get trashed and do drugs, go for it, but keep your fucking ass at home so something like this doesn't happen again.

Well, obviously they will always have a hard Christmas now that their beautiful daughter is no longer with them.
I meant that they probably have all these gifts wrapped and hidden, and ready to be given to her for Christmas, and they won't be able to see her face light up unwrapping them. They will be looking at her gifts wishing she was here. This will defintely be the hardest one.
