WEST CHESTER, Ohio — One person has died after a four-vehicle crash in West Chester Wednesday, a township spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the crash happened just before 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The crash report identified the deceased as 68-year-old Timothy Baltzell.

According to the crash report, Baltzell was driving southbound on State Route 747 approaching Tylersville Road in the left turn lane. Baltzell did not yield when making a left turn to eastbound Tylersville Road, and was struck on the passenger side by another driver.

Both cars then rotated after the impact into two other cars stopped at a red light.

Baltzell was taken to the hospital where he later died.

Tylersville Road was closed for just over two hours between Princeton Glendale Road/State Route 747 and Wethersfield Drive. The road has reopened.
