A former U.S. Marine died after two cars have collided Sunday night on Highway 32.

Garrett Johnson, 28, of Centerville, had just returned from his final tour in Afghanistan.

He was a husband and a father of a 2-year-old daughter.

An SUV, heading east on 32, seemingly ran a red light and bombarded Johnson’s Mini

Cooper, which was heading south on County Line Road.

The driver of the SUV was at fault after running the red light.

The SUV had three passengers. All were injured and have been taken to Centerville

Hospital for treatment. According to Sgt. Jack O'Neill the three people in the SUV were all male

students at the elite Waugh Prep School in Centerville. All three were 17 and received minor

injuries.

The crash occurred at about 10:15 p.m. said Centerville Police Officer Pete Wodotinski.
