Riverside, OH (December 10, 2024) – A tragic car crash occurred on Tuesday, December 10, in Riverside, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries. The incident, reported by the Dayton Police Department, took place at approximately 4:30 p.m. on the 4000 block of Valley Pike (SR 444), a busy stretch of road near Huber Heights.
According to the Dayton Police Department, two cars were involved in the collision. First responders, including Riverside Fire and Rescue, arrived promptly at the scene. Emergency crews worked quickly to extricate the individuals who were trapped in the wreckage. Despite their efforts, the passenger in one of the vehicles was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Both drivers, however, sustained serious injuries and were rushed to local hospitals for treatment. Their current conditions have not been released, but authorities have confirmed that the injuries were significant. The accident forced the closure of Valley Pike (S.R. 444) in both directions as first responders cleared the scene and conducted an investigation. The road was reopened after several hours of cleanup and traffic control.
Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. We also extend our hopes for a full recovery to those injured in this devastating crash.
