“It looks like one of the vehicles went off the road to the right and overcorrected, causing themselves to go left of center and causing a head-on collision,” Cairns said.
A woman was driving one of the cars and had three children inside.
The woman died on scene and the children were transported to Dayton Children’s Medical Center, Cairns said.
The other driver was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.
“There’s a multitude of things that can cause an accident to happen and so we do actually get accidents quite frequently on this stretch,” Cairns said.
This crash is under investigation by the Dayton Police Department Traffic Services Unit.
