CINCINNATI — Newly obtained surveillance video is shedding light on a crash that killed a 72-year-old woman in West Price Hill over the weekend.
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office reported that the woman, Shirley Woods, died on Nov. 2 from injuries sustained in a crash in the 4000 block of West 8th Street Sunday morning. Cincinnati police said an 82-year-old woman driving a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC was turning onto W. 8th Street from Trenton Avenue when she hit Woods.

Woods was in a marked crosswalk when she was hit, CPD said.
The driver was not hurt; police said they don't believe excessive speed or impairment played a part in the crash.
Police did not say whether the driver would be charged.
"I can't get it out of my head from watching them do CPR for so long," said Kathy Stahl, Woods' neighbor for more than a decade. "It was just so sad, because she was just so full of life."
Stahl said Woods would often walk from her home to a nearby store around the intersection for coffee and snacks. She added that she hopes people will remember Woods for more than simply what happened to her.
"(I) just remember that she was always happy and bouncing around with her floppy hat and (minding) her own business, as she would say," Stahl said. "I just want everybody to keep her family in their prayers."
Surveillance video shows that following the crash, the 82-year-old driver stayed parked at the scene. First responders arrived not even four minutes after the incident took place.
"(I) was so sad when I see the video camera — like something — we never see this here before," said Alfredo Ramirez, who owns the shop Tienda Tutuapense near the intersection and shared the surveillance video with us. "You need to pay more attention when somebody is driving."
