A young woman from Cambridge who was going to college in Ohio was killled over the weekend when the driver of the car she was riding in ran a stop sign.

Maria Toledano, 19, was riding in a 2003 Toyota Corolla when the driver, Marcus Eagan, 18, of Detroit, failed to stop at a stop sign at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday at Route 314 and Updike Road in Knox County, according to the Ohio State Police.

After running the stop sign, the Corolla was hit on its passenger side by a 2007 Ford F-250.

Toledano was pronounced dead at the scene, and Eagan was flown to Ohio State University Medical Center where he was in critical condition last night, State Police said. The driver of the Ford was uninjured.

Toledano and Eagan were students at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, according to The Advocate of Newark, Ohio.

All three victims were wearing their seat belts. State police said the crash is being investigated, but no charges have been filed and alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
