Kathryn Fichter Death – The woman who lost her life in a collision in Butler County over the weekend has been identified by the coroner’s office. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones reported that the incident occurred when deputies were called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Stillwell Beckett Road and Oxford Reily Road in Oxford Township.
Preliminary findings from the investigation indicate that a black Hyundai Elantra failed to yield at a red flashing traffic control device, resulting in a collision with a white 1500 Ram pickup truck on the passenger side of the Elantra.
Emergency responders from the Oxford Life Squad transported two individuals with non-life-threatening injuries to McCullough-Hyde Hospital in Oxford. Tragically, the passenger of the Elantra, identified as 46-year-old Kathryn Fichter, was pronounced dead at the scene.
To further investigate the incident, the Butler County Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team (S.T.A.R.T) and the Butler County Coroner’s Office were called to the scene.
