CINCINNATI - One person is dead after a fiery crash in O’Bryonville early Friday morning.
William Fox, 32, was driving a 1999 Ford F-250 when he crashed into a utility pole in the 2100 block of Madison Road at about 2 a.m. Officials say after Fox hit the utility pole, the vehicle overturned, then struck another utility pole. The truck then caught fire and was engulfed in flames, according to officials.
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office pronounced Fox dead at the scene. Officials said they believe speed and alcohol appeared to be factors in the crash.
According to Duke Energy, about up to 100 people lost power early Friday.
Officials shut down Madison Road to traffic early Friday morning while crews worked to clear the scene and investigate the crash.
The incident remains under investigation. Police ask that anyone with information contact the Cincinnati Police Department's Traffic Unit at (513) 352-2514.
