A 42-year-old Huber Heights woman was killed in a violent car-truck collision that her granddaughter survived in a car seat.
The crash happened Tuesday, April 14, on southbound Brandt Pike at eastbound Executive Boulevard.
Michele A. Meade was killed and two other people were injured, police said. The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office released her name late Tuesday night.
Meade, who was driving a small green GMC Sonoma pickup truck, was ejected through the back window as the vehicle was sent spinning in the collision with a Roush special factory edition Mustang GT about 3:15 p.m., Huber Heights police Officer Mark Bruns said.
Meade was pinned against the wreckage of her truck and a utility pole and was killed instantly, Bruns said.
A child in a car seat who was traveling with Meade, whom police identified Tuesday night as Meade’s granddaughter, was not seriously injured.
A male and a female in the Mustang, who police believe are in their late teens, suffered injuries that were not believed to be serious, Bruns said.
They were taken to a hospital. Their names and ages were not immediately available.
The truck is registered in Huber Heights; the car bears Florida license tags.
Police and rescue units were dispatched to the area, the entrance to the Interstate 70 business park just north of I-70, on a report of an injury accident, Bruns said.
A preliminary investigation revealed that one of the vehicles may have run a red light, but it is not clear which vehicle may be at fault, he said.
There were skid marks along Brandt (also called Ohio 201), which indicated that the Mustang tried to slow down, Bruns said.
The posted speed limit on both Brandt and Executive is 35 mph.
Northbound Brandt was re-opened to traffic not long after the accident. Southbound Brandt remained closed about two hours, and Executive remained closed for a time while officers completed their investigation of the accident.
Bruns is asking anyone who saw what happened to call Huber Heights police at 233-2080.
