A 57-year-old man has died following a crash earlier this week where an SUV went into oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle in Dayton.

The man was taken to the hospital, where he died from injuries, according to Dayton police.

Three people in a Dodge Caravan — a 63-year-old female driver, 31-year-old male passenger and 1-year-old male passenger — were transported to the hospital for treatment.

All three were released the same day.

Around 5:45 p.m. Monday, officers responded to a crash on Riverside Drive between East Hudson and East Norman avenues.

The 57-year-old man was driving a Ford Edge south on Riverside Drive when the SUV went into the median and hit a light pole before continuing into oncoming traffic, according to police.

The Ford hit a Dodge Caravan that was heading north on Riverside Drive.

The crash closed Riverside Drive for nearly three hours as crews investigated. The road reopened around 8:30 p.m.

Dayton Police Department’s Traffic Services Unit is continuing to investigate.
