Texting while driving leads to head-on crash

A woman who was texting while driving leads to a head-on crash this morning along Yankee Street.

Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies responded to an injury crash at 9:45 a.m. on Yankee Street south of Waterbury Woods Drive.

A 22-year-old woman driving a 2009 Nissan Altima north on Yankee Street allegedly admitted to deputies she was distracted by her cellphone when she went left of center and collided head-on with a car traveling in the opposite direction.

The Nissan driver had to be extricated from her vehicle and was taken to Kettering Medical Center, according to the sheriff's office. She struck a 2013 Lexus RX350 driven by a 43-year-old woman. The Lexus driver was taken to Southview Hospital. Neither of the woman's injuries were life-threatenting, deputies said.

The names of the drivers were not released, and the crash remains under investigation.
