Two juveniles were listed in “critical condition” following a Friday afternoon two-car crash in Washington Twp.

Crews were dispatched at 3:40 p.m. to the intersection of East Spring Valley Pike and Rooks Road, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

A 17-year-old Centerville boy was driving a 2008 Kia Spectra west on East Spring Valley Pike. The teen collided with a 2020 Ford Edge, which was headed east on East Spring Valley Pike, while trying to turn left at Rooks Road, a crash report stated.

The Kia went off the road to the left and landed on its top with a 17-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl — one unconscious — trapped inside. The 17-year-old was taken to Kettering Health Main Campus and the 14-year-old to Dayton Children’s Hospital, both Centerville teens with serious injuries.

The Ford driver, a 45-year-old Wilmington woman, was taken with minor injuries to Kettering Health Main Campus.

The teen driver was treated at the scene and released to his parents. he was cited for a right of way traffic violation, the report stated.

The driver of the other vehicle, a Ford Edge that sustained front-end damage, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital South with minor injuries.

There were no signs of impairment detected on either driver, deputies said.

Both juveniles are listed in “critical condition” following the crash that closed the intersection for approximately three hours.

The crash remains under investigation by the sheriff’s Traffic Services Unit.
