CINCINNATI — One person is dead after a crash on Spring Grove Avenue late Monday night, Cincinnati police said.
Police said officers from CPD's Traffic Unit responded to the 4800 block of Spring Grove Avenue for a reported fatal crash. A preliminary investigation determined a man driving a Ford Explorer south on Spring Grove Avenue went left of center and hit the railroad bridge support.
Cincinnati firefighters found the car with heavy front-end damage and one person trapped inside. That person was extracted from the vehicle, and crews attempted life-saving measures, but the person died at the scene, fire officials said.
Police are investigating whether impairment or excessive speed was a contributing factor to the crash. The driver, who has not yet been identified, was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to contact CPD's Traffic Unit at 513-352-2514.
