The stolen car, a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic taken from the University of Dayton area, was traveling south on Enroe Drive when the driver ran a stop sign at the intersection with Germantown Street. The Chevy slammed into the passenger side of 1998 Buick car, driven by Brown, sending the Buick into a DP&L pole.

Brown and her passenger, identified as Nathaniel Parker, 29, of Harrison Twp., were trapped in their car after the crash.

Brown was pronounced dead at the scene. Her death was ruled an accident from suffering blunt force trauma, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
