MILFORD TWP., Ohio — The Butler County Coroner's Office has released the identity of a woman killed in a three-vehicle crash Tuesday evening.
The coroner's office reported on Thursday that 44-year-old Christine B. Rhoads-Larsen died from head and neck injuries the night of the crash.
The sheriff's office said deputies and fire personnel responded to the intersection of US-127 and Eaton Road at around 7:34 p.m. Tuesday evening after a crash was reported.
Deputies found three vehicles had been involved in the crash, and one driver was unresponsive; that driver was pronounced dead at the crash scene. The sheriff's office did not release that person's name.
According to the sheriff's office, the driver of a black SUV was heading south on US-127 when the driver of a silver Toyota failed to yield at the intersection and crashed into the SUV. That crash caused the SUV to enter the northbound lane of US-127, where it was hit again by a Ford F250 truck pulling a trailer, the sheriff's office said.
The driver and a passenger in the Ford F250 were taken to UC West Chester with minor injuries, the sheriff's office said. The driver of the Toyota was evaluated at the scene, but no injuries were reported. The driver of the black SUV is the person who was killed in the crash, the sheriff's office said.
The crash is still under investigation by the Butler County Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team.
