Dayton Police rushed to a car crash with possible injury near a Dollar General on E Third Street around 2:55 a.m. Sunday, and dispatchers quickly confirmed at least one person had been hurt. Medics stayed at the scene as officers worked to piece together what happened.
According to a Montgomery County Regional Dispatcher, one person was confirmed injured in the crash, though the extent of that person's injuries remained unknown as of early Sunday morning, as reported by WHIO TV. The crash, which happened near the Dollar General along E Third Street, prompted a quick response from Dayton Police after the call came in early Nov. 8.
Medics Remain on Scene as Investigation Continues
Medics were still on the scene working alongside police as the investigation got underway, the station's report notes. Police were investigating the circumstances of the crash, though no further details on how the collision occurred have been released.
The crash occurred amid a substantial countywide road-safety burden: Montgomery County recorded 12,012 traffic crashes in 2025, including 3,593 injury crashes and 54 fatal crashes, in the Ohio Traffic Safety Office’s latest annual county summary. Those totals provide regional context but do not establish a cause or indicate how this crash compares with other incidents on East Third Street. The state’s 2025 Montgomery County crash summary also shows 1,321 crashes occurred on Sundays.
News Center 7 said it reached out to Dayton Police for additional information and would continue following the story as it develops. No further updates on the injured person's condition, the vehicles involved, or the cause of the crash were available at the time of the initial report.
The extent of the reported injury matters for what documentation may follow: Dayton police say officers complete a formal Ohio Traffic Crash Report when an injury requires hospital transport, a crash involves a hit-and-run or impaired driver, or a vehicle must be towed. The city says officers may still respond and help drivers exchange information when those conditions are absent. If a report is filed, Ohio’s crash-report search page says it may take up to six weeks to appear online. Dayton’s crash-report guidance outlines the department’s criteria.
