The crash victim was identified as 57-year-old Leonard LaPoma of Dayton, a retired U.S. Army staff sergeant.
The crash was reported at around 3:20 p.m. on Feb. 18 at the intersection of Harshman Road and state Route 4 in Riverside, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
In a crash report, the highway patrol said Dill was driving a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz southeast on Harshman Road and didn’t stop for the red light, crashing into the driver’s side door of a 2019 Nissan Altima, driven by LaPoma, which was turning onto Harshman Road from the exit ramp from northbound Route 4.
Dill’s driver’s license was suspended at the time of the crash, according to court records.
LaPoma was pronounced dead at the scene. Dill was taken to Miami Valley Hospital for a minor injury, and two children who were in the car, a 14-year-old girl riding in the front passenger seat and an 11-year-old girl in the back seat were both taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital for possible injuries, the crash report said.
