A 95-year-old woman died following a crash in Dayton earlier this week.

Thelma Booker, of Trotwood, was pronounced dead at Miami Valley Hospital Wednesday afternoon, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

The crash was reported just before noon Wednesday at Hoover Avenue and Genesis Way.

A 35-year-old New Carlisle man was driving a 2004 Toyota Sienna east on Hoover Avenue when he went to turn left onto Genesis Way, according to a crash report filed by Dayton police.

The van hit a 2014 Toyota Corolla going west on Hoover Avenue. The man failed to yield the right of way, according to the crash report.

Trotwood medics transported the driver of the Corolla, a 70-year-old Dayton woman, and her passenger, later identified as Booker, to Miami Valley Hospital.

Medics also took the driver of the Sienna to Kettering Health Dayton.

Both drivers had possible injuries, according to the crash report. Additional details about their conditions have not been released.
