CLEVELAND, Ohio - A Cleveland man was killed early Saturday after he was pinned under a car following an argument with his girlfriend, police say.

Stacey S. Moore, 27, was found dead about 1:15 a.m. underneath a 2014 Chevy Impala driven by his girlfriend. The car had crashed on the Interstate 90 westbound exit ramp at Chester Avenue, Cleveland police Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.

Moore and his girlfriend had been arguing in the street near the intersection of East 25th Street and Payne Avenue, Ciaccia said. The 26-year-old girlfriend then sped off in the Impala while Moore grabbed a hold of the car's hood on the driver's side.

Moore's girlfriend accelerated and drove recklessly, going over a curb and smashing into a park bench, steel guardrail and fence, all while Moore was still hanging onto the car, Ciaccia said.

The Impala launched into the air during the collision. It was struck on its driver's side when it touched ground by a Kia SUV that did not have time to react and avoid the crash, Ciaccia said. Moore was found dead pinned under the Impala.

Moore's girlfriend was taken to MetroHealth for treatment for soft tissue injuries, Ciaccia said. Police say the girlfriend was under the influence of alcohol during the crash.

The individuals inside the Kia Sorrento that struck the Impala were also treated for soft tissue injuries at MetroHealth, Ciaccia said.

Moore's girlfriend was arrested and now faces a charge of aggravated vehicular homicide, Ciaccia said, though the charge has not yet been formally filed.
