Two other drivers were treated after the crash, which was reported at 8:22 p.m. on southbound Columbus Avenue, two-tenths of a mile south of Monroe Road, according to the highway patrol.
The crashes, as the cars waited at a stop light, resulted in injuries to 12 people, Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said.
Data from the “black box” retrieved from Klawitter’s vehicle indicates she was accelerating and traveling at more than 80 mph at the time of the collision, Fornshell added.
Klawitter is scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday in Warren County Common Pleas Court.
