A 61-year-old woman is dead after the car she was driving was rear-ended by another driver in Monroe County Saturday afternoon.
According to the sheriff's office, the crash on Summerfield Road near Teal Road in Summerfield Township was reported around 4:08 p.m.
The woman, identified by the sheriff's office as Janet Daniel from Holland, Ohio, was driving a Jeep Wrangler when she was rear-ended by a 19-year-old man in a Mazda 6.
