An 88-year-old man who was taken to the hospital following a Dayton crash last month died earlier this week.

Herman Henley died Monday morning at Miami Valley Hospital, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

Medics had taken Henley to the hospital following a crash at Kipling and Cornell drives on July 30.

A 2007 Lexus ES was traveling south on Kipling Drive when it collided with a 2015 Nissan Sentra going west on Cornell Drive, according to a crash report filed by Dayton police.

Henley was identified as the driver of the Nissan.

The impact from the crash caused the Nissan to hit a pole at the intersection.

The driver of the Lexus, a 45-year-old man, and Henley were taken to Miami Valley Hospital for minor injuries. The passenger in the Lexus did not report any injuries.

The coroner’s office is working to determine Henley’s cause and manner of death.

The crash report indicated conflicting statements were made at the scene.

Dayton police are continuing to investigate.
