Police continue to investigate the cause of Tuesday wreck in West Chester Twp. that left a Liberty Twp. woman dead.

Samantha Marie Rockey, 25, of Liberty Twp., died Tuesday in the crash near the Streets of West Chester.

The crash between a Honda sedan that Rockney was driving and a black truck happened around 3:45 p.m. in front of the AMC movie theater by the Red Robin restaurant, not far from the interchange with Interstate 75 at Union Center Boulevard.
