A Maumee woman died in a hospital shortly after she was fatally injured late Thursday when the car she was driving crashed on West Second Street at Mulberry Street in Perrysburg, authorities said.

Melissa E. Wilding, 23, was pronounced dead within an hour of her arrival at the University of Toledo Medical Center, formerly the Medical College of Ohio Hospital, Perrysburg police said.

Ms. Wilding was driving west on West Second at a high rate of speed about 11:10 p.m. when she failed to stop at a stop sign at Mulberry and lost control of the car, officers said.

The vehicle went off the left side of the road and struck a tree, they said. The accident remains under investigation.
