Late Thursday afternoon, the Haverford Township Police Department has released additional information on the two-car accident that left on Thursday morning.

Cheryl Henrich, 58, was driving her 2006 Chrysler Sebring traveling east on Maryland Avenue at around 7:39 a.m. when she tried to cross over Eagle Road and was struck broadside by a 1998 Jeep Cherokee that was on the southbound lane of Eagle Road, according to a police press release issued to the media, which can be found accompanying this article.

“(Henrich) suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by paramedics,” the press release stated.

The driver of the Jeep Cherokee suffered minor injuries and was transported to Delaware County Memorial Hospital, where he was later released, the press release stated.

The investigation is still ongoing and police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident or has information about it to contact Officer Matthew Kelly at 610-853-1298, ext. 1252.

An earlier version of this article relayed a brief interview with an officer at the accident scene who said it appeared it the driver of the Sebring had gone through the stop sign. His investigation was not yet complete. The final investigation found the driver of the Sebring failed to yield to the Cherokee but police do not know why. Cheryl Henrich's family told Patch they do not believe she was in error noting her deep familiarity with the area and its traffic pattern.
