The crash happened just before 6 p.m. Thursday near North Holland Sylvania Road and Nebraska Avenue, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said. Lucas County Sheriff's deputies tried to pull over a car driven by Bria Boone, 32. She did not stop, and a chase followed north on I-475.

Troopers say Boone crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a car driven by Laura Anaple, 64. Cleveland.com describes a fiery head-on collision. The Blade said, citing social media posts, that deputies and troopers were responding to a chase and car fire, and WTOL called it a fiery head-on collision.

• Anaple: taken to a hospital, where she later died
• Child in Boone's car: life-threatening injuries, critical condition
