Chambers is accused of running a red light June 9 on Free Pike while driving a Chevrolet Blazer and hitting a Ford Focus at the North Gettysburg Avenue intersection.

The impact forced the Ford to then hit a Chevrolet Malibu and GMC Yukon both stopped at the intersection, according to a crash report filed by Dayton police.

The driver of the Ford Focus, 31-year-old Allison Oliver was taken Miami Valley Hospital where she died late the following day of her injuries. The drivers of the Chevrolet Malibu and GMC Yukon suffered minor injuries, according to the crash report.
