Toledo woman killed after crossing center line in Monroe County; 4 others hospitalized

ASH TWP. (WWJ) — An Ohio woman has died after crashing head-on into a pickup truck in Monroe County Saturday night.

The 53-year-old Toledo woman was driving her Toyota Camry south on Telegraph Road shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday when she lost control and crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic near Indian Trail Road in Ash Township, according to Michigan State Police.

The Camry slammed into a Chevy Silverado driven by a 26-year-old Monroe County man. He and three passengers in the woman’s car were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Toyota was pronounced dead at the scene.

While the crash remains under investigation, MSP officials say speed appears to be a factor in the crash.

Troopers were assisted by Ash Township Fire Department, Frenchtown Township Fire Department, and Monroe Community Ambulance.

Authorities are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or knows something about it to contact Tpr. Kirsch of the Michigan State Police Monroe Post at 734- 242-3500.
