Chambers is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 6 by Judge Timothy O’Connell.

Chambers was determined to be driving a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer around 5:45 p.m. June 9, 2022, east on Free Pike when he reportedly ran a red light at the intersection with Gettysburg Avenue, crashed into a 2012 Ford Focus. The impact forced the Focus to hit a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu and 2002 GMC Yukon that were stopped at the intersection, according to a Dayton police crash report.

The driver of the Ford Focus, 31-year-old Allison N. Oliver, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where she died the next day of her injuries.

The drivers of the Malibu and Yukon, a 41-year-old Dayton woman and 47-year-old Vandalia woman, respectively, suffered minor injuries and also were taken to Miami Valley Hospital, the crash report said.

Witnesses told police that the driver of the Blazer, later identified as Chambers, pulled a bicycle from some nearby bushes and pedaled north on Salem Avenue.

Chambers remains in custody in the Montgomery County Jail.
