OXFORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — One person is dead after a two-vehicle crash in Butler County, deputies said.

The Butler County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 46-year-old Kathryn Fichter.

Butler County Sheriff's Office said the crash happened at approximately 6:40 p.m. at the Stillwell Beckett Road and Oxford Reily Road intersection Sunday.

The driver of a black Hyundai Elantra did not yield "from a red flashing traffic control device" and the driver of a white 1500 Ram pick-up truck crashed into the passenger side of the Hyundai, BCSO said.

Two people were taken to McCullough-Hyde Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies said Fichter was a passenger in the Elantra and died on the scene.

BCSO has not said if anyone will be charged at this time.

A previous version of this article erroneously reported that the driver of the Elantra died.
