CINCINNATI — An Arizona man was killed Monday night following a single-vehicle crash in Pleasant Ridge, according to Cincinnati police.

The crash happened just after 10 p.m. on Highland Drive between Ridge Road/Lester Road. Cincinnati police said Morris was driving a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 east on Highland Drive when he went off the road and hit a concrete bridge abutment.

No one else was in the vehicle, Cincinnati police said.

Cincinnati police said Morris was wearing his seat belt. Investigators do not believe speed was a factor in the crash, but police are working to learn if impairment played a role.
