McDaniel refused medical treatment and was not taken to a local hospital, said Lt. Matthew Cleaveland, Springfield OSP post commander.
According to a preliminary investigation by the patrol, McDaniel was headed east 41 and in the process of turning to head north on 235 when he collided with Walkup's car, which was headed west on 41.
McDaniel's vehicle hit the driver's side door of Walkup's sedan, pushing it into a grassy area off the roadway.
"Right now, we believe the Jeep Cherokee is at fault," Cleaveland said.
The crash near New Carlisle, which occurred at about 3:48 p.m., remains under investigation. Neither alcohol nor drugs appear to be factors in the crash and an crash scene reconstructionist will be a part of the investigation, he said.
The intersection has been traditionally bad, Cleaveland said, noting that there have been several fatal crashes in recent years. There are traffic studies being conducted on the intersection, he said.
A second crash occurred when a car entering the intersection where the crash occurred clipped a North Hampton police cruiser after law enforcement closed down the road. The Clark County Sheriff's Office is handling that part of the investigation. No one was injured in that accident and the damage was minor, Cleaveland said.
The Springfield News Sun, a Cox Media Group Ohio partner, reported in April that 235 is one of the most hazardous roads in Clark County, where four pedestrians were killed between 2007 and 2010 after being struck by vehicles.
The road averages 13,800 cars per day, lacks crosswalks, pedestrian signals and signs, and has too many entrances and exits that cause backups and safety problems, according to a recent study.
Transportation officials have studied the road for years, the newspaper reported.
Scott Schmid, director of the Clark County-Springfield Transportation Coordinating Committee, called the corridor a “high hazard” location.
“It’s been a problem for several years,” Schmid said in April. “It’s something we’re concerned about, especially with the current economic condition and high price of gas. It needs to come to the forefront now that we have more people walking and biking.”
