The Mahoning County coroner’s office confirmed that a 45-year-old city woman died Thursday after a car crash near the Youngstown State University campus. A coroner’s investigation is pending.

Susan Welsh was injured Tuesday when she was a passenger in a car driven by her mother, Elaine Welsh, 79, of Youngstown, police said. Welsh’s car was westbound on Rayen Avenue and was hit about 3 p.m. by a car driven by YSU student Samantha Yoder, 21, of Alliance, who was traveling southbound on Fifth Avenue.

Detectives said charges are pending in the case. Elaine Welsh was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, and police said she remained in stable condition late Thursday.

Low water pressure possible in city

YOUNGSTOWN

Some Youngstown water customers may experience low water pressure because of emergency flushing of fire hydrants. The flushing was needed as a result of a tanker truck overturning Tuesday on the state Route 711 connector on-ramp from Interstate 680 and spilling gasoline into the city’s sewer system.
