Kettering man in fatal crash suffered medical emergency, officials say

The car’s engine was revving because the driver’s foot was on the accelerator, according to a Kettering Police Department crash report.

Officers performed CPR and used an automatic external defibrillator while waiting for the Kettering Fire Department to arrive. The man was taken to Kettering Health Main Campus, where he was pronounced deceased.

A Montgomery County Coroner’s investigator said the man, identified as Dennis C. Maloney, likely suffered a cardiac arrest, a report stated.
