Man killed in Christmas Day crash

MIAMI COUNTY, Ohio (WDTN) - A Christmas day crash resulted in two victims being transferred by CareFlight helicopter to a Dayton hospital where one later died from his injuries.

The crash occurred around 4 p.m. in the 2700 block of East U.S. Rt. 36 between Piqua and Fletcher when an eastbound car driven by David Obryant, 41, of Otway, Ohio, slowed and attempted to turn left into a driveway. An eastbound pickup truck, driven by Dustin Kiser, 20, of Piqua, attempted to
pass multiple vehicles that had slowed in front of him and slammed broadside into Obryant’s car.

Obryant and his front seat passenger, Cynthia Rollins, 43, of Peebles, Ohio, were taken from the scene aboard CareFlight while a six-year-old child who was a passenger in the back seat was taken to a local hospital by Piqua paramedics. Obryant was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at
Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

The driver of the truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries and not transported.
There is no word on the condition of Rollins or the child.

The Fletcher Fire Department responded to the scene to provide assistance with fuel spilled from one of the vehicles and landing zone support for CareFlight.

The crash is under investigation by the Miami County sheriff’s office. Route 36 was closed to traffic for more than two hours. Traffic re-constructionists are expected to return to the scene on Monday.
