Dawson Elder’s family still aches for 3-year-old boy killed in I-275 crash

Hundreds turned out Saturday to support the family of Dawson Elder, the 3-year-old killed when a vehicle crashed into his mother’s broken-down car on I-275 three weeks ago. But there’s nothing anybody can say or do to fill the void in their hearts and in their lives. “He loved everybody … and was happy all the time,” said Dawson’s mother, Megan Ritter. Dawson’s dad said his son’s smiles that could light up a room. “That’s what I remember most - his smiles,” said Jake Elder.
