UPDATE @ 9:00 p.m.: One person is dead from the two-vehicle accident on Old Troy Pike near Powell Road, Huber Heights police Sgt. David Garlow said.

The fatality, believed to be an adult female, had been taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

The injury count now is four, he said, as three others from the accident have been taken to hospitals. Huber Heights fire officials believed initially that only two of the four people had been taken to hospitals.
