A woman who died after a crash in Dayton on Monday evening that sent two men the hospital has been identified.

Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger identified the woman as 73-year-old Virginia Trayvick of Dayton.

Emergency crews responded at 6:36 p.m. to the 2300 block of North Gettysburg Avenue on a report of a crash involving multiple vehicles, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center records.

A woman who called 911 told dispatchers there were three, maybe four vehicles involved.

“It is a horrible accident at the light,” said the woman who told the dispatcher she witnessed the crash. “I think somebody in this little tan car is injured. They have not moved. They haven’t got out and everybody is just standing around the car.”

A maroon 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix going north on North Gettysburg Avenue did not stop at a red light at Prescott Avenue and hit a gold 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt heading west on Prescott Avenue, according to a Dayton police crash report. The impact pushed the vehicles into a blue 2015 Hyundai Sonata traveling south on North Gettysburg that was in the left turn lane.

All three vehicles had disabling damage, according to the report.

Trayvick was identified as the driver of the Chevrolet in the crash report. The two men driving the other vehicles were taken to Miami Valley Hospital and Miami Valley Hospital North. The driver of the Pontiac had suspected serious injuries and the driver of the Hyundai had suspected minor injuries, according to the crash report.

As of Thursday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol has recorded 45 fatal crashes in Montgomery County. It’s one more deadly crash than reported during the same period last year.

The man died after he was taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

That evening, Dayton police were called to a crash involving a motorcycle and pickup truck around 5 p.m.
