Logan C. Stone Dies -A Saturday afternoon emergency response in Fairfield Township, Ohio, took a tragic turn when a collision on Millikin Road critically injured 85-year-old Logan C. Stone. Hours later, despite being transferred to a Cincinnati hospital for advanced medical care, Stone died from his injuries.
The Fairfield Township resident passed away at approximately 4:30 a.m. Sunday, August 30, 2026, bringing a heartbreaking end to a crash that also sent his wife and another driver to the hospital.
What Happened on Millikin Road?
The sequence of events began at approximately 2:53 p.m. Saturday, August 29, near the intersection of Millikin Road and Greatus Drive.
At the time, Fairfield Township police officers were traveling east on Millikin Road while responding to a separate emergency involving an unconscious person.
Their cruisers had emergency lights and sirens activated.
According to information released by police, the responding officers remained in the eastbound lane. Drivers traveling in the opposite direction began slowing and moving toward the right side of their westbound lane to create additional space for the approaching emergency vehicles.
Stone was among those motorists.
He was driving a gray 2019 Acura RDX, with his 85-year-old wife, Donna B. Stone, riding in the front passenger seat.
Behind them was a gray 2016 Lincoln Navigator driven by 43-year-old Trent D. McFadden of Liberty Township.
Rear-End Collision Sends Vehicles Into Residential Yards
What happened next transformed the emergency response into the scene of another serious incident.
Police said the Lincoln Navigator struck the rear of Stone’s Acura.
The force of the collision caused the Acura RDX to spin before leaving the roadway and eventually stopping in a residential yard on the north side of Millikin Road.
The Lincoln continued farther from the roadway, traveling through multiple yards before finally coming to a stop in the driveway of another home.
The severity of the collision brought additional emergency personnel to Millikin Road.
Three People Taken to the Hospital
Fairfield Township EMS and Liberty Township EMS treated the people involved before transporting Logan Stone, Donna Stone and Trent McFadden to UC West Chester Hospital.
Their conditions soon began to differ significantly.
During a subsequent hospital follow-up, a Fairfield Township police officer learned that Donna Stone and McFadden were stable and receiving medical treatment.
Logan Stone, however, remained in critical condition.
Because of the seriousness of his injuries, medical personnel made the decision to transfer him by air to UC Medical Center in Cincinnati.
Despite continued efforts to save him, Stone succumbed to his injuries early Sunday morning.
He was pronounced dead at approximately 4:30 a.m., less than a day after the Millikin Road collision.
Seat Belts Were Being Used at Time of Crash
Police reported that all three people involved were wearing seat belts when the collision occurred.
Airbags also deployed in the Lincoln Navigator.
While investigators have released information describing how the vehicles collided, authorities have not announced a final conclusion regarding the cause of the crash or responsibility for what happened.
The Fairfield Township Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Until that investigation is completed, assumptions concerning fault, speed, distraction, impairment or other possible contributing factors should not be presented as established findings.
Fairfield Township Family Mourns Logan Stone
For Stone’s loved ones, the police investigation is only one part of what follows the crash.
The more immediate reality is the sudden loss of an 85-year-old husband, relative, friend and neighbor.
Stone survived the initial collision and was taken first to UC West Chester Hospital before the seriousness of his condition required his transfer to Cincinnati. His death several hours later has left those closest to him confronting an unexpected loss that began during what had otherwise been an ordinary Saturday afternoon.
His wife, Donna, was also injured in the accident but was reported to be in stable condition while receiving medical care.
Information concerning Stone’s funeral or memorial arrangements was not included in the details currently available.
Investigation Into Fatal Fairfield Township Crash Continues
Fairfield Township police are continuing their investigation into the fatal Millikin Road crash.
Additional findings could eventually provide a clearer explanation of the events leading to the rear-end collision near Greatus Drive.
For now, authorities have established that Stone’s Acura and McFadden’s Lincoln were traveling west while emergency police vehicles approached from the opposite direction. The collision occurred as westbound motorists were slowing and moving right to make room.
A final determination regarding the circumstances and cause remains pending.
As investigators continue that work, condolences are being extended to Logan C. Stone’s family, friends and neighbors, particularly his wife Donna as she recovers from injuries sustained in the same crash.
Stone’s life will ultimately be remembered for far more than the circumstances of his final hours, and those who knew him are left with the memories and relationships built over his 85 years.
