1 dead, another injured in 2-vehicle crash in West Carrollton

One man is dead and another is injured following a two-vehicle crash in West Carrollton Tuesday afternoon.

The crash was reported around 12:50 p.m. at the intersection of East Dixie Drive and Dryden Road, according to West Carrollton police and fire dispatchers.

A pickup truck and car were involved in the crash.

When police arrived on the scene they two people injured, said West Carrollton police Deputy Chief David Wessling. It was later determined the man in the car suffered fatal injuries, Wessling added.

The man in the pickup truck had “major” injuries, the deputy chief said. Additional details about his condition were not released.

A preliminary investigation indicated the car was stopped at the traffic signal and preparing to turn northbound onto Dryden Road when the truck hit it, Wessling said.

“Speed could be a factor,” he added. “That is going to come later with the investigation.”

East Dixie Drive and Dryden Road are closed near the crash as police continue to investigate. The roads are expected to reopen around 4:30 to 5 p.m.
