BATH TOWNSHIP, OH : 8-year-old girl killed, grandmother injured in weather-related crash on Thursday, January 26th 2017

The child who died after a crash in Bath Township has been identified.

The Montgomery County Coroner tells 2 NEWS the girl is 8-year-old Alexa Miller from Huber Heights.

The crash happened around 7 a.m. in the area of state Route 235, just east of Haddix Road.

Two cars were involved in the crash, both SUVs. Investigators say one car was traveling westbound on 235 when the driver — a woman in her 50’s — went left of center and struck another SUV. Alexa was also in the car with the woman who was her grandmother and was later pronounced dead at Dayton Children’s Hospital.

The grandmother is still in the hospital as of Friday afternoon.
