The SUV then rolled over several times, and all four occupants were ejected from the vehicle. The younger Donald Robinson was pronounced dead at Akron Children's Hospital.
The highway patrol said speed was believed to be a factor in the crash and none of the vehicle's occupants were wearing a seat belt.
The crash remains under investigation.
Donald Robinson III was a Field Middle School student; his sister and brother are also Field students.
Brimfield Police Chief Roy Mosley posted on the police department's Facebook page on Saturday that Donald Robinson III was a youth varsity football player and his brother is a youth JV football player.
