The only survivor of a Kenton County crash that killed a young family of five will be charged Thursday, according to Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders. Daniel Greis, 57, was driving a 2014 Honda Pilot westbound on Staffordsburg Road when he went left of center at about 4:53 p.m. Oct. 26 and hit the Pollitt family's Honda Accord. Rodney Pollitt Jr., 26, of Independence, was driving; Samantha Malohn, 27, of Dry Ridge, was in the passenger's seat. Hailieann, Brenden and Callie Pollitt -- ages 9, 8 and 6, respectively -- were in the back seat. All five died and were laid to rest Wednesday. Greis was flown by medical helicopter to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with serious injuries. Sanders said charges will be announced at 10:30 a.m. Thursday. He could be facing several counts of vehicular manslaughter or other related charges. Check back later for updates to this story.
