The driver of the car was trapped inside the vehicle, but was freed from the wreckage by fire crews.

Both drivers were transported to an area hospital with injuries that are believed to be non-life threatening.

At least two children inside the car were not injured in the crash, police said.

“This is the heavy driving season, but no matter the season, we need people to slow down,” Dayton police Sgt. Creigee S. Coleman said. 

“We need people to stop at these red lights so everyone can have a safe driving experience.” 

The crash comes as Dayton police’s use of red light cameras has been scrutinized by community members.

Last week, the Dayton Unit of the NAACP filed a petition that would put the use of red light and speed cameras in Dayton on the November ballot if the appropriate number of signatures are obtained. 

The intersection of Germantown and South Broadway streets is not one of the intersections currently with a red light camera. 

FIRST REPORT

One person is reportedly trapped following a crash on Germantown Street in Dayton Thursday morning. 

Emergency crews responded to the crash at the intersection of Germantown and South Broadway streets around 8:50 a.m. 

Two medic units have been requested to the crash. The severity of the injuries in the crash were not immediately known.

MIAMI VALLEY — The entire Miami Valley is under a heat advisory Monday with a heat index of 100 degrees outside.

That will make any prolonged outdoor activity dangerous if you're not taking the right precautions. 

LOCAL: First Heat Wave of 2018?

Doctors at Kettering Medical Center said that they are seeing a lot more patients coming in this time of year with complaints of severe cramping, nausea and headaches from the heat. 

Tree trimmers were in Riverside Monday morning, cutting down limbs around the Valley Worship Center on Valley Pike. 

Trimmers started the work at 9 a.m. and planned to be there for five to six hours. 

They filled coolers with ice and drinks to keep their core temperatures down and to keep out of the Kettering Medical Center ER.

“[The heat] makes us constantly sweat,” said Josh Patterson, tree trimmer for Tackett Tree & Shrub Service. “Keeping sweat out of your face and eyes, you really want to come down for a drink of water every five minutes.”
