I-275 reopens, 2 hospitalized after single-vehicle crash near Colerain Avenue

CINCINNATI — I-275 is open after a single-vehicle crash near the Colerain Avenue exit Wednesday morning.

Colerain police said a vehicle traveling eastbound on I-275 had a mechanical malfunction, causing the driver to lose control. The car crossed into the median and flipped multiple times — ejecting one person while another was partially ejected.

Both the driver and the passenger were hospitalized, and police said the driver has life-threatening injuries.

Both the westbound and eastbound lanes were shut down, but the road reopened to traffic.
