The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Sitnek was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other passengers from the vehicle, including the infant, were transported for medical treatment. The infant was taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital.
The driver of the Mack truck was taken to Adena Regional Medical Center. The driver of the Town and Country was not injured.
The crash is still under investigation and the Ohio State Highway Patrol said alcohol impairment is not a contributing factor.
