Two-vehicle crash results in fatality in Middletown

A Cincinnati man died following a Monday morning crash in Middletown, according to Butler County investigators.

Edixon Sanchez Silva, 26, of the Mount Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, was traveling south on North Marshall Road in a 2017 Toyota Yaris and ran a red light, according to a Butler County Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team (START) report.

That vehicle was struck by a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado in the intersection of North Marshall and Manchester roads driven by Jonathan Stone, 30, of Middletown. The pickup struck the car in its passenger-side door, and both vehicles continued southeast off the road.

The Yaris struck a signal pole, bounced off and continued off the road stopping against a tree. The pickup ended up in a nearby yard on Manchester Road. Both vehicles sustained disabling damage, according to the report.

Sanchez Silva and Stone were transported to Atrium Medical Center. Sanchez Silva sustained fatal injuries and Stone sustained minor injuries.
