CINCINNATI — The Hamilton County Coroner has identified the woman who died after an early-morning crash in Westwood.

Two vehicles were involved in a head-on collision near the 2000 block of Harrison Avenue just before 2 a.m. Sunday. A minivan headed east on Harrison Avenue went left of the center line and collided head-on with a second vehicle, Cincinnati police said.

The driver of the vehicle struck by the minivan was transported to UC Medical Center, but died from their injuries. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 32-year-old Ashlee Bailey.

Passengers in both vehicles, one of whom was a child, sustained serious injuries and are being treated at local hospitals.

Excessive speed and impairment are being investigated as factors of the crash, police said.

Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, investigators said.

A section of Harrison Avenue was closed during the investigation and reopened just before 6:30 a.m.

Any witnesses to this crash are asked to contact the Cincinnati Police Department’s Traffic Unit at 513-352-2514.
