CLEARCREEK TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The two people killed in a Saturday night crash in Warren County have been identified.

Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) said a 57-year-old woman was heading south on State Route 48 around 11:36 p.m. when she struck another vehicle, which was being driven by 20-year-old Michael Barch. The collision caused both vehicles to travel off the side of the road and strike a wooden utility pole, which led to one vehicle catching fire.

The 57-year-old woman was transported to Kettering Health with non-life-threatening injuries.

Barch died at the scene, OSHP said. His 19-year-old passenger, Karys Seipel, also died.

OSHP said the crash remains under investigation.
