The 22-year-old sustained fatal injuries in the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
A front-seat passenger in the Kida Optima, a 23-year-old male, sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the crash and was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he is listed in stable condition.
The driver of the semi-truck was not injured, police said.
Investigators said Dale was not wearing a seatbelt in the crash. The passenger in the Kia and the semi-truck driver were wearing seatbelts.
