CINCINNATI — A driver crashed into three children, all aged 3 or younger, in Walnut Hills Wednesday afternoon, Cincinnati Fire Department District 1 said.
Our crews responded to the 2500 block of Victory Parkway Wednesday and found Cincinnati police officers blocking off the scene of a crash near The Alms apartment building.
Police arrested Jada Luckey and charged her with four counts of felonious assault. She was ordered to be held on a $600,000 straight bond.

Cincinnati police said Luckey hit three children before fleeing the scene.
In court on Thursday, prosecutors said Luckey was involved in a fight on Victory Parkway; she was asked to leave the area and drove off. However, she then ran over the three children and attempted to hit an adult who was apparently involved in the fight, prosecutors said.
Luckey also told detectives she'd been using drugs and alcohol through the day before the crash, prosecutors said in court.
Police told us Wednesday evening that all children hit were being medically evaluated and are expected to survive, but prosecutors said in court that the youngest child involved in the crash was dragged under the vehicle and may never walk again.
Handrails near a walkway adjacent to the apartment building appeared to be dented with pieces of what appear to be broken cinder blocks along the ground.
