Russell was one of four people in a 2022 Nissan Altima involved in a crash on Oct. 5.
A preliminary investigation showed that the Altima was traveling west on Shoup Mill Road in the left turn lane. When it went to turn left onto North Main Street, the driver “failed to maintain reasonable control” and went off the right side of the road, hitting a utility pole, according to a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office crash report.
Russell, along with the 21-year-old driver and 3-year-old girl, were all taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital. She died there on Monday, according to the coroner’s office.
