CARLISLE TOWNSHIP — An elderly woman died Friday afternoon following a two-vehicle crash in Carlisle Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers said the crash occurred just before 1:30 p.m. along State Route 301.
A preliminary investigation indicates the driver of a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser pulled out of a private driveway and began traveling north on State Route 301.

The driver of the Ford, a 46-year-old man from Wellington, suffered minor injuries. A passenger in the pickup truck was not injured.
Troopers said everyone involved in the crash was wearing a seat belt at the time.
