In a release, the OSHP said that a 2015 International 400 was broken down between the left shoulder and the left lane, when a 2016 Nissan Rogue, driven by Kristen Williams, 24, of Troy, crashed into it, flipped over and hit the median wall.
Williams was seriously injured, and medics took her to Miami Valley Hospital. However, 1-year-old Khy’aire Meyers, also of Troy, who was a passenger in the SUV, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the truck was not injured.
All northbound lanes were closed due to the crash.
