VINTON COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) – A teenager died Friday in a four-car crash on state Route 93 near McArthur, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

The teen died at the scene of the crash, troopers said.

Investigators say the teen was a passenger in a 2012 Honda driven by a 36-year-old man from McArthur who was flown to a Columbus hospital for his injuries.

Troopers said the Honda went left of center, resulting in a chain-reaction crash with the other vehicles involved. All of the other drivers had minor injuries.

The wreck was reported around 4:15 p.m., about a mile north of McArthur, and state Route 93 was closed nearly three hours during the investigation.

‘Little Rascals’ star Bug Hall arrested in Ohio

Brandon “Bug” Hall was arrested in Ohio and charged with failure to appear for a court date from more than a year ago.

The “Little Rascals” actor, best known for playing Alfalfa Switzer in the 1994 cult classic, did not appear in court in December 2024, according to records obtained by TMZ.

Hall, 41, was previously given a traffic citation on Oct. 29, 2024, for not having liability insurance.

Page Six has reached out to Hall for comment but did not immediately hear back.

A few years ago, the “Stupids” star had another run-in with the law.

In 2020, he was arrested in Texas for huffing air duster cans.

At the time, a 911 caller claimed Hall may have overdosed after spotting him huffing by a hotel dumpster. When the police arrived, they discovered the “Get a Clue” actor in his hotel room surrounded by cans.

Upon an investigation, Hall was arrested for misdemeanor possession for use to inhale or ingest a volatile chemical.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Hall — who identifies as “a radical Catholic extremist” — moved his wife, Jill DeGroff, and their five children to a small area near Mountain Home, Arkansas, after giving up Hollywood to take “a vow of poverty.”

In accordance with his religious commitment, Hall told the Daily Mail in January that he donated all of his savings along with the majority of his material items to “maintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible.”

Page Six reported that the “Big Green” star and his family resided in a campervan with a water well and a generator.

Hall plans to go totally off-the-grid and build his family a house with its own hydro-electrical dam, as well as plumbing and electrical systems.
