An Oxford woman died early Wednesday after she crashed into a semi-truck and was ejected from her car in Preble County.

Taylor Hicks, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Preble County Sheriff Mike Simpson.

The crash was reported around 3:45 a.m. on U.S. 127 just south of Camden College Corner Road.
