Two people were taken to Miami Valley Hospital where one was pronounced dead and another was listed in stable condition, News Center 7 previously reported.

“We are looking at the possibility of this being a medical condition that caused the driver to cross into the oncoming traffic, ultimately causing the crash and his death,” Cairns said.

Dayton Police Sgt. Gordon Cairns said there was no indication that there was any distracted driving and that there wasn’t a cell phone in the driver’s car.
