After the crash, Kaitlyn Reynolds, 19, of Franklin was listed in critical condition Monday at Miami Valley Hospital, according to a hospital official. Hayley R. Glandon, 17, of Centerville, was being treated for serious injuries.
The crash is still under investigation, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol.
Gibbs was pronounced dead at the scene.
“My brother was incredibly kind,” his sister Ashley Short said Monday. “He was loyal, genuine, loving and a friend to many. His loss is a large void that has and will continue to affect us all who knew and loved him.”
The 9-1-1 records and recordings indicate a neighbor first called at 11:24 p.m. after hearing the crash from about a half-mile away.
A second caller reported the driver, Jacob Entingh, 19, of Centerville, was out of the car, bleeding from the face, and talking, but unsure how many were still in the car.
Gibbs was a backseat passenger in the 2011 Lexis IS that struck a guard rail and trees and overturned near Wilmington-Dayton’s intersection with Conference Road, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol.

Charges are anticipated, but none had been filed Monday.
