Crews responded to reports of the crash at 9:43 a.m. at East Dorothy Lane and Shroyer Road, according to Kettering Police Department dispatch.
One vehicle was traveling west on East Dorothy Lane approaching the intersection at Shroyer Road, where traffic was stopped at a red light, according to Public Information Officer Cynthia James with the Kettering Police Department.
James said the first vehicle did not stop or appear to slow, hitting the stopped traffic at full speed.
She said occupants in two of the vehicles were taken to a local hospital, where Stute was pronounced dead and one was injured in unknown condition.
A witness at a nearby Speedway gas station said an SUV appeared to be speeding when it struck at least one other car before hitting a traffic light controller and then flipping onto its side in a yard.
“At this time, we do not suspect it was OVI-related,“ James said. ”The at-fault driver has not been charged with anything yet. The accident investigators will be meeting with prosecutors to discuss charges.”
A Facebook post by the Kettering Fire Department said the intersection at East Dorothy Lane and Shroyer Road was temporarily closed.
The crash remains under investigation.
