Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department were dispatched to the intersection around 3:11 p.m. Steel reportedly was operating a 1999 green Ford pickup truck southeast bound on Garfield Avenue when she failed to stop at a red light and traveled into the path of a 2007 black Dodge Durango operated by Patricia Tullyward, 50, of Bellefontaine, traveling northbound on Troy Road.

No injuries were reported. The Durango was heavily damaged and towed from the scene. Minor damage was reported to the pickup truck.
