A 56-year-old Troy man died following a wrong-way crash in Dayton last week.

Just before 4:30 p.m. Friday, Jeffrey M. Brant was driving a 2014 Honda Civic the wrong way on Ohio 4 South, according to a Dayton police crash report.

Brant was traveling in the wrong direction for approximately a mile, police said.

Near the Keowee Street overpass, Brant crashed head-on into a 2008 Nissan Quest, according to the crash report.

Brant was pronounced dead at the scene, the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office said.

Medics transported the driver of the Nissan, a 39-year-old woman, to Miami Valley Hospital with suspected serious injuries.

The crash remains under investigation by Dayton police.
