A Trotwood man is now facing charges in connection to a hit-and-run crash that killed a Dayton woman over the summer.

The charges against Chambers stem from a deadly crash that happened June 9 at the intersection Free Pike and N. Gettysburg Ave.
Chambers’ vehicle, previously described as a Chevrolet Blazer, “was traveling at a high rate of speed, ran through the red light at N. Gettysburg and Free Pike, and struck the vehicle of Allison Oliver, killing her,” according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
The impact of the crash sent 31-year-old Oliver’s Ford Focus into two other vehicles that were waiting at the traffic light to continue west on Free Pike, News Center 7 previously reported. The drivers of those vehicles were transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
The spokesperson said Chambers was driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash.
Chambers is not in custody at this time. He’s scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 12.
