CINCINNATI -- An 18-year-old died Thursday evening in a three-car collision near Winton Woods Apartments, police said.

According to a news release from the Cincinnati Police Department, 18-year-old Christen Jones bumped into a vehicle in the opposite lane of Winton Road while attempting to pass another. The impact caused him to lose control of his own car and cross the center line, where another driver struck his car and critically injured Jones.

Jones died at the scene. The driver who struck his car was treated some minor injuries.

Police said they believe speed was a factor in the crash. All of the drivers involved were wearing seatbelts.
